Last Day of School.

Old fans in the hallway before the big move.

A rubbish shoot on the second floor.

Inside the old elevator.

Goodbye Old Classroom.

A final view of my old classroom on the last day of school.

Before packing....with bikes.

I will miss the green floor.

No more chalkboards, dry erase next year.

Weird Old Art Supplies.

I couldn't believe the things I found in my classroom as I cleaned, 
sorted, and discarded.  From a mink stole, to fake rubber food, 
enough driftwood to build a house, and by far really cool, weird 
old art supplies with really cool packaging.

Closet and Drawers....The Storage!

I will miss the closet, the cabinets, and
the drawers in my old classroom because
they reminded me of the history of the
school and the many art teachers who
taught there before me.

Things I Will Miss After the Renovation Continued...Patterns.

The inside of my classroom's closet..ceiling.

An old linoleum cutting board.

The floor in the hallways.

My classroom's floor, an old lunch tray, the sink.

More Things I'll Miss After The Renovation

So, as strange as it might be, I'm going to miss this
door vent.  The letters are a little bit worn and I thought
the vent said "Panflouvre" leading me to write a short
story about Panflouvre:  The Floppy Eared Bunny from
France.  Later I did some research and it turns out that
the label says Pan Louvre, which just means door vent.
Still the real wood doors and lovely tiles may not be around
after the summer and I'll miss them.

Again, strange, I know, but I'll miss this
metal sanitary napkin dispenser that probably
hasn't had Kotex in it to dispense for
decades.  There is just something lovely
 about the aesthetic here.  The blue tiles 
and the font and the 5 cents price.
