Since I LOVE the pirates that hang over my tables and my fun ocean color animals I wanted to stick with the pirate/ocean theme.
My good friend Liz gave me her watermelon claw foot tub to use as a reading space for the Daily Five.
Then my creative friend Amanda took the tub and turned it into a pirate ship!! Her dad is making a sail to go on it now. The kids are going to LOVE reading in this!!
Stay tuned to see it with the sail and in my classroom. I can't wait to move into my new classroom next week and get started setting it up. I will post pictures as soon as it is ready!

LOVE IT! Amanda is so talented! I can imagine what her school hallways look like now that she's in admin.! Very cute idea April!
Oh my goodness. I am super jealous you have that tub. I am doing a pirate theme and would love that. I may just be finding someone with a tub they want to give...I mean donate to my classroom. Love it.

That "ship" is so cute. I'm impressed! Renee
That is so cool! I had a reading tub in my classroom years ago, but after moving classrooms/schools so many times, I got rid of it. It was not the best thing to have to move.
Wow ! Talk about creative, what a wonderful and fun reading space for kinders.
Such lucky students! Adorable!
Oh April,
Although Amanda did her usual awesome work on the pirate ship I did have to shed a little tear to see that watermelon go away.
