School Construction

Date: 11/22-23

I am really proud of my school because they are trying to be supportive of students with disabilities.  This means, they are installing an elevator and hand rails on all floors--which is a huge endeavor.  But it does not mean that it's easy--on my ears.

A couple of weeks ago (maybe 2--wow--time flies!) they were hooking up the wiring for the elevator in the teacher's room.  This happened to be on a Tuesday and Wednesday--which are my easy days with only 2 or 3 classes.  Which meant that I was present for most of the construction--hammering nails, whirling screw-drivers, buzzing wood saws....to be kind, it was a noisy mess.

But the results were very pretty....
CLACK CLACK CLAK!!!!

WHIRL!  SCREW!  BUZZ!!

Peeling...taping...reinforcing...boards hitting other boards...Smack!


Getting closer to finished product!


 One last touch:  The Flag:
We also got a new white board the following week.  It looks very nice....and now... it's finished so it can be quiet again!
