Bare Walls

Yesterday, I was sitting at my desk correcting papers. I looked up and was struck by how much stuff we have hanging on the walls and displayed around the room.

I thought back to the first day of school where there were just four posters on the wall - the lab safety poster, the periodic table, word problem keywords and the Hellenic mission statement.

Now, I see a room filled with student work. I see Pi stretching across three walls, student presentations about constellations and elements. I see rockets, hand-made globes, a fake clock (smashed, of course), a huge poster about Bernoulli's Principle and  so much more.

It's amazing to think back to the bare walls. 

In just a few short weeks, we'll be wrapping up the year and will be back to those bare walls, ready for another exciting year of math and science at the Hellenic.
