Kay,
What an interesting question, although I'm sure it was not a fun situation!
I have to say, the first thing I would have thought about grabbing is my
automation system server, and my work station computer. If I have those, I
can probably recreate about anything else I need, including curriculum
units, worksheets, etc. Then, as you did, current units and the books to
needed to complete them for the remainder of the school year, some boxes of
paperbacks to keep students reading with, and my class record sheets! Glad
to hear the worst did not come to pass, and you are back in your building!

never lack for amusement!

snoop

> The following Tuesday the administration gave us one hour to pack anything

> I packed a box of reference books--atlas, dictionary, etc., a box of
> literature criticism for the seniors' big paper, and almost all of the
> paperbacks.
> I purchased laundry baskets and placed them in the classrooms for students
> to return items to.
> I sorted the paperbacks into boxes for the English, special ed, and 6th
> grade classrooms so that those students could have something to read when
> they finished their assignments.
> I also packed a backup of my program, circulation, documents.
> I only had a list of overdue items and fines from the beginning of the
week

> Fortunately this week the office personnel and I were allowed back into
the

> What would you pack? You might give it some thought.
