Working on the Library

My service with Peace Corps in the Eastern Caribbean is based on English Literacy. I'm working with a 1st grade class at Tourama Government School to enhance reading and writing skills. However, I have been tasked with a secondary project: fixing up the school's library. It needs to be cleaned out and redecorated.

The students have a say in what their library should look like, so I asked all the students at the school what their favorite cartoon characters were. I would like to paint them on the outside and the inside of the library. I'm now trying to learn how to draw Spiderman and Paw Patrol, so I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Books are being donated to the library from Hands Across the Sea once I get the library cleaned out. All the books that were in the library were put in boxes to be sorted. Some have been given to teachers for useful material in the classroom and others will be sold in a book sale to bring more money into the school. I will post updates on the work being done in the library. However, I am just getting started.
