No desks this year!

Two fellow teachers have implements a NO DESKS policy in their classroom and I m really excited to try it out this year!

From what I know it is great for the kids, especially those in primary grades (k-2). Benefits include- better handwriting, more participation, independence, and more creativity. I got the idea from Greg Smedley, over at Kindergarten Smorgasboard. He has videos and pictures me and all sorts of tips on how he started it and implemented it in his classroom. So if you're considering it you should definitely go check it out. Even if you're not, just go read his blog because there is a smorgasbord of ideas on his page.

I am still working out some kinks, like how my classroom will actually be laid out or how my students work and supplies will be stored and organized. If there are any other teachers that are doing this or have done it recently any advice or tips would be helpful. I will keep yall updated on how it goes.
