We did it! We survived another winter! Now it’s time to get our hands dirty and tackle all of the dust, dirt and grime that has made their way into our classrooms! To prevent you from getting overwhelmed we have come up with some tips on how to get the spring cleaning done minus the anxieties:
1. Divide and Conquer!- Divide the classroom into sections and number them. Tackling these sections one at a time will keep you focused. Don’t start one project without finishing the one previous!
2. Declutter!- Throw out all of those broken crayons, crinkled papers, and everything else that have no purpose. Get your students involved!
3. Create Piles!- Lets get some organization in the classroom. Create piles for items to donate, items to throw out, and items to return. Because let’s face it, sometimes we forget to give things back. Whooops!
4. Start from the bottom and work your way down!- Start cleaning the walls first, working your way to the floor. This rule particularly applies to dusting—once you finish dusting from top to bottom, you can vacuum or sweep up any last remnants.
5. Rearrange!- Now that the classroom is so fresh and so clean,clean start to rearrange the room.
6. Maintainenance!- Keep up the cleanliness throughout the remainder of the year! (Or at least try!)
