New Old School
Last spring I wrote about having to pack up my classroom for the second year in a row and move to another building. The new building is old, really old, and hasn’t been well kept up over the years by my district. It is a temporary school. Each year an entire school moves into while their building is either remodeled or replaced. So last spring the entire staff and all of our junk was moved to the temporary school.
It wasn’t a shock to me that the school was in bad condition. We had visited it twice before the other elementary school moved out. But once I actually got into the room in August, I wanted to cry. I just couldn’t imagine how I could make this classroom, which very badly needed to have holes filled, walls painted and spiders killed, into an actual classroom for my wonderful students.
So, I got on Pinterest, started making things out of paper and fun stuff from Hobby Lobby and this is what I came up with. I think I might be able to make it through the 2 years we are in this building while our new school is being built if I can survive the lack of air-conditioning in the spring and the radiator in the winter. I hope you enjoy my before and after pictures.
