Tables for me! By m&mTeach

I agree that it has to do with your own style of teaching.
For me . . . all of my direct instruction happens when the students are at the carpet. They only go to the tables to complete their independent work. They don't always sit in the same place. For example, during math they sit with their math partner and during readers' workshop they sit with their "talking partner." Students move easily from table to table (depending on their job) because they don't have an assigned spot. Community materials are placed either in middle of their tables (pencils, erasers, crayons, glue) or around the room where everyone has access. I just love the flexibility that tables give.
