Cool desk arrangement
By Casey

This is what I did this year with desks: I sat the kids in groups of 6 (great for cooperative learning). The desks were arranged like a table, two rows of three facing each other. BUT in the middle I pulled the two desks apart and inserted another desk that was lower than the others. It was kind of like a sunk-in area. I then collected supplies and placed them in the middle for everyone in the group to use, instead of having to deal with everyone's individual items. I also had folders there for them to put their homework in in the morning, and then I could check for it at my leisure, which saved a lot of class time. It worked out great!
