It will be able to fit approximately 15 students at a time. ]]> 2017-05-02 21:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/blanr97/o72s4drkkrd9/wish/169549704 blanr97 https://padlet.com/blanr97/o72s4drkkrd9/wish/169550030 There will be lights just like there is in the Teepee to the right, because proper lighting is essential in a literacy center (Reutzel, 1996). There also be hanging lantern style lamps to create more lighting, but still have the center comfortable and enjoyable.  ]]> 2017-05-02 21:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/blanr97/o72s4drkkrd9/wish/169550030 References blanr97 https://padlet.com/blanr97/o72s4drkkrd9/wish/169550795 Reutzel, R.

I will have large fluffy pillows as well as bean bag chairs to sit on, and a virtual campfire on the wall inside the teepee to add some warmth to the environment. ]]> 2017-05-02 21:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/blanr97/o72s4drkkrd9/wish/169551626 blanr97 https://padlet.com/blanr97/o72s4drkkrd9/wish/169552401 2017-05-02 21:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/blanr97/o72s4drkkrd9/wish/169552401 blanr97 https://padlet.com/blanr97/o72s4drkkrd9/wish/169552478 Located on one of the walls of the literacy center will be a list of all of the books that can be found in the literacy center. It's important to have a large quantity of books in the literacy center, as well as books for different reading levels to challenge each student (Gambrell, 1996).]]> 2017-05-02 21:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/blanr97/o72s4drkkrd9/wish/169552478 Books I will include in my Literacy Center blanr97 https://padlet.com/blanr97/o72s4drkkrd9/wish/169554898
