cleaning out school closets




So at Khartoum American School teachers stay an average of 2 years. This means lots of things never get cleaned well and the classroom storage closets are filled with many old relics of our educational past. Also in the last 4 years the school has changed its mission and is moving away from the traditional text book teaching to that of a more progressive type/ inquiry based education. So...

On our last in service day we started the daunting tasks of clean/organizing the closets. Besides getting rid of old textbooks...we found some very old books. Circa 1960. I've taken some pictures to show you some of the prizes we found.
