[LM_NET] Elem: Child-oriented reading areas?

["Tony L. Pope" <Pope1966@AOL.COM>]

I'm looking at changing one of my corners into a more leisure area for the 
kids (we're Pre/K-3).  Do any of you have a smiliar are you have that can be 
viewed on-line or send me a picture of?  I'm in the process of ordering items, 
but would like to see some examples that might give me a better idea.

Right now, my thoughts are to put in an oval Dewey Decimal rug I plan to 
order from Highsmith (Highsmith's was about $5 cheaper than Demco's).  I also plan 
to order a beanbag chair or two, a reading critter/pillow shapped like a 
hedgehog that kids can recline against (also from Highsmith and was a few cents 
cheaper), possibly our Papa & Mama bears, and a lamp with miniature lights & 
varying colored globes.  I can then use the Dewey Decimal rug for a variety of 
activities and the area will be available for students to do leisure reading.

Thanks in advance!
