Classroom Set-up
By JES

*I use trapezoid tables with my students instead of desks. My 4/5th graders are with me all day and for all subjects. I am kind of a neat nut and hate having materials strewn all about. I also hate wasting transition time
digging out supplies, but after working out symstems for storage and management, I've absolutely loved our table arrangements. Storage may not be a problem for you since your students will come in for an hour and then move on.
*Here's how I solved testing situations. I use file folders stapled or taped together to create personal stand-up barriers for each student. I simply experimented

until I found a design that served the purpose and could be folded down to save for the next testing period. Good luck! I think you will love your tables.
