A teacher stuck behind a desk

For all 7 years that I have been teaching, I have worked from a traditional desk, everything I do is behind my desk.  Well, after researching and beginning this blogging and classroom transformation, I have seen many teachers who have not taken that mindset.  So, this year I am a teacher who is not confined to a desk.   I threw it out !!! (not really, just moved it to the hall :)) and I replaced it with a bookshelf for my stuff and a kidney shaped table.  I love the table, I can just envision sitting with 2 students on the opposite side working diligently to help them understand a concept.  I will be a teacher who is constantly mingling amongst my students.  This is a big step for me! But this will be a small thing that will make me a better teacher.

  1. We don't have any desks in our building, we all use our kidney tables! It works great :) You'll love it!
