Packing up and throwing out...
Although those of us who live with pack rats (or are pack rats ourselves) cringe at the thought, now is a good time to think twice about what we are tossing into the trash in the hallway outside of our classrooms. Is a mismatched basket perfect for organizing adapted materials at a center or station next year? Is that piece of styrofoam the perfect size to hold a geometry compass in place for a student with motor difficulties?
What are we discovering as we clear up and clean up?
