Today was dedicated to GCE beautification. We moved computers, desks, chairs, overhead projectors, loads of power cords and a few filthy file cabinets. We cleaned cobwebs from window corners and brushed off dusty books. Here is what one of the classrooms looked like before we started taping and painting:

Using nearly three roles of blue tape, I began the tedious process of prepping my new classroom for a much-needed paint job. After a couple hours of covering light switches, pipes, windows and baseboards, we were finally ready to paint! Here I am getting started on the first wall…

After about about four hours of moving school supplies and taping every nook and cranny, I was only able to finish one wall in my class. Even so, isn’t it amazing what a little paint can do?
