							| not messy 
 |  
							|  Dear colleagues   It �s very common to describe a room as "messy". So common that I can �t figure out how to say the opposite :) ! I �m not sure "the classroom was orderly" works, I �d rather use "orderly" for people.  Is "the classroom was in order" ok ???   Thank you and have a great new school year! |  1 Sep 2015

							| You can also say the room is all cleaned up. Or everything is in its place. |  1 Sep 2015
