We found out last Wednesday that, in the end, we would need to pack up our ENTIRE classroom for the summer. Originally, we had been told to set up our room for next year and they would be sealing our doors. Our school is getting some nice renos over the summer, and they didn’t think they would touch our classrooms. Alas, after spending a day at school with my boyfriend, setting up for next year, it all had to be undone and packed up.

The most challenging part was that I had to do it with the students still in the classroom! My back is still not 100%, so I am not allowed to move furniture or lift things, which was very limiting for me to do pretty much anything while the students were there. I used this time to organize papers and clean things.

On Friday, my boyfriend and a friend came in to help me pack everything up. We had 4 hours to get it all done, but we made it!
