Wordless Wednesday - a day late because I kinda fell asleep waiting for the pictures to load. ☺
Today, for your viewing pleasure, the reason I've been absent from blogging lately:
My new classroom when I first walked into the room (full of "stuff", some of which is older than me!):
 |
Standing in the doorway to my room, I was literally met
with a wall of "stuff". |
 |
Don't be fooled by that big empty space there in the middle
of the floor! I forgot to take pictures before we had
already moved 4 tables out of that space. |
 |
| Piled on the counters...stuff... |
 |
| Art cabinet, stuffed with...stuff... |
 |
| Construction paper...shoved all over... |
 |
| An empty space! Except for the piles on top... |
 |
| More stuff...piled to the ceiling... |
 |
| Cabinet filled with stuff... |
 |
| More stuff... |
 |
| Long unit of shelves...stuffed with boxes of...stuff... |
And now, the room after much (much, much, much) purging of "stuff" and organizing of what's left:
 |
| The new view from the doorway! |
 |
| Again standing in the doorway. |
 |
| Calendar/Circle area. |
 |
| Organization! |
 |
| Purged and reorganized art cabinet. |
But I ask...How much paint (↓↑) does one classroom need?
 |
I threw out half of the paint that was in the cabinet, and I
still have 2 whole shelves full of paint! |
 |
These books are now covered by a curtain to deter little
ones from pulling out every single book. ☺ |
 |
| View of the room from my desk! |
A big thanks goes out to my mom, who spent 4 looooong days in this room with me! ♥ you Mom!!
It looked great when we were done, didn't it? I love that I was able to help! You're a great teacher and I hope that you have a great year! :-)
ReplyDeleteSplendid job... I remember those days myself!! Tossing out former teachers' ancient junk is a big job but it's such a relief when it's done. I actually threw out kindergarten screening forms (speech) on kids older than I was... I figured it no longer mattered which kids could say their r correctly when they were five...
ReplyDeleteY'all did a great job. Makes me want to go back to school and have fun with all that stuff...well, almost.
