Trash Left in My Classroom

A photographic tribute to my students and the trash they leave in Room 310.

The last trash of the school year! Thank you, lazy student, for not throwing your wrapper in one of TWO trash cans!

The last water bottle pics of the year—let’s make it a triple! Remember: “It’s just water!”

Trash Left in My Classroom turned 5 today!

[trashleftinmyclassroom]

Another day, another water bottle; which answers the age-old question “Why can’t we drink in here?”

[trashleftinmyclassroom]

Points awarded for reusing the water bottle as an orange peel container. Points deducted for going through all that trouble and then leaving it in the sink.

New year, same water.

We’ve had a breakthrough, ladies and gentlemen! The healthiest garbage EVER left in my class!

Winter is coming. Stay warm with...Arctic Blitz?

Hello, friend!

The girl that was blowing bubbles in my class? I guess this belonged to her. 😡

Halloween is over, but the Halloween garbage is not.

Happy Halloween, everybody! Apparently it’s trick-or-treat everyday in my room. Sigh...

Did I make a mistake showing this blog to my first period so early in the school year? I think they’re throwing trash on the floor just to see if I’ll post the pic—right, Jack?

Sigh... 1. Student brings in box of chocolate to sell 2. Student interrupts class to sell chocolate 3. Buyer leaves wrapper on the floor 4. I pick it up 5. I post a pic here 6. You read it

Mama used to say “Water, water everywhere; not a drop to drink!” I think the first part’s true, Mama!

Can’t get over how many brands of water there are. Who doesn’t slap a label on these bottles now?!
