TARGET:  Arrangement of story corner
Date:  Wed, 8 Aug. 2001

This is my first request for assistance, though I have replied to
others' messages and have gained immeasurably from reading "HITS."

I am a new Library Media Specialist, setting up my first library media
center.  I would like to set up an inviting "story corner" and I am
uncertain which to purchase - a comfortable rocking chair or a tall
chair with attached foot rest I saw at a local store.  Since the
children will be sitting in 3 tiered rows, I'm wondering if they would
be able to see the pictures easier if I was sitting slightly above them
- i.e., in the tall chair OR would the rocking chair be more appealing
and closer to their eye level.(Is this making sense?)Also, the tiered
rows have institutional carpeting with minimal padding.  Does anyone use
carpet squares and do you think they make it more comfortable - or
become a distraction?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
