Clean up! Part of Work Ethic 10 pts a day! Paper mache is very messy, please consider wearing a paint shirt! Sponge off your table to get any extra glue. Check the floor for newspaper scraps/spills. Put away supplies and bins back where you found them. Put a piece of paper under your sculpture on the shelf and make sure it won’t get stuck to someone else’s!
