Most of the storage containers in the room are a hodge podge of different classroom materials and toys. They do not seem to have any specific type of organization. Not only that, but everything in my room is COVERED in thick dust.
I was excited to see that I have the largest classroom in the school (and in my opinion the best). There is a downfall to my room, though. It is not actually inside the school. It is a glorified porch. So, the downfall is that all of the dust from the road (which is directly outside my classroom) blows right into the room. Basically anything that is exposed to the air will end up covered in dust. That makes things a little bit difficult.
Cleaning the room is a big deal (even though it is rather time consuming). The problem is that it is a never ending cycle. Just one short hour after thoroughly cleaning something, I turn around and see that it is again covered in dust. Sweeping the cement floor in the classroom feels like I am trying to sweep the dust off of a dirt floor. It is never ending!

Aside from sweeping up dust, I have also been scrubbing all of the plastic storage boxes in the room. Everything is so dirty that I have to change the water in my bucket after just a few swipes.
Organizing the room is also a little overwhelming. There is not much shelf space in the room. So, I have to rely mostly on plastic or wooden boxes.
I am finally seeing a light at the end of the dusty tunnel. I hope that after a few more days I will be all finished. My only three "helpers" really don't do a whole lot, so, it has taken me a while.

I am crossing my fingers that by early next week I will be able to post pictures of my FINISHED classroom!
