How to Set Up a Classroom in 48 Hours

June 28, 2015 By Seemi

This week’s Classroom Showcase post is not a tour of a classroom but the (brief) story of how I had to set up my space in under 48 hours when we moved to our current location.  These pictures are from 2010.

Step 1:   Get Some Efficient Movers

Friday Aug 20th 7pm (in the garage)

We had the classroom materials and furniture stored in my cousin’s garage over the summer.  I was afraid it would take all day to move that stuff but our movers were able to get it done in just a couple of hours.. phew!

Step 2: Bring in Reinforcements

This is not a job for one person.

(Where are the pictures of my fabulous helpers?!!)

I am so grateful to

~my sisters for coming in from out of town and working non-stop~

~my cousin and his kids for assembling all the furniture and doing the heavy lifting~

~my staff for putting out the materials on the shelves~

I feel SO lucky!
