#008: How to Quickly Pack Up Your Classroom When Your Time is Limited

A teacher asked me this week how to pack up your classroom if you only have a limited amount of time.

Margo was being allowed into her classroom for 3 hours to pack up. Talk about being overwhelmed! She felt frustrated, stressed and exhausted just thinking about it. Who can blame her?!

As teachers are slowly being allowed back into their classrooms to pack up for the year and get students' personal belongings ready to be picked up, their time to do this may be quite limited. Where do you begin this daunting and emotional task?

In this episode, I break down how to be fast and efficient in your end-of-year packing up. I've got some tips and tricks to help you get the job done without leaving yourself a hot mess to face when back-to-school time rolls around.
