I'm Going Deskless!!!

, , ,
                I am so so excited, I have convinced my principal to allow me to get rid  of my teacher desk. I never sat at the desk and it took up to much room. So I bet everyone is wondering how in the world. Well, I'll tell you what I am doing with my stuff that use to be in my desk.


The items that I do not use on a daily basis are now hanging on the back of my closet door. Items like awards, stickers, ziplock bags, etc



The items I use on a daily basis are in these lovely organizer. I found it for $5.00 at Walmart in the home repair area. I am going to take pretty card stock and decorate to match the colors of my room. I'll post about that process when I start it. 



             I am looking forward to starting the new year in August without my desk. I plan to use the extra space to enlarge the library area. How many of my blog friends are deskless? How many are planning are to go deskless?

    I am deskless!! I just have my kidney shaped reading table & a little side table where my laptop sits. I don't mind being deskless at all. I don't have a ton of space in my classroom, so it works out good. :)

      I plan on using my kidney table the same way. I'm the first teacher to do this at my school; maybe I'll start a trend.

    Hi Meagan:
    I haven't had a desk for years! (There isn't any room!)
    I "multi-purpose" my guided reading table; it's really helped me stay more organized.

    You can see the transformation here:

    Happy Un-Desking!

    I haven't had a desk for 5 years. I really like it because the kids know they can always come and sit at an empty chair and continue working until I finish with another student, or just come over and listen while I'm explaining something to another kid.

    Check out my blog at jarofpencils.blogspot.com I just started it this month, but I have definetly caught the teacher blog bug, so please follow me.

    I went deskless this year too! I love it. My desk was just a junk collector, and it took up way too much space. I use the kidney table and it's working out great!

    I have considered going deskless. In fact, today I just emptied it all out for summer. Maybe I'll just move it out when I return. It takes up so much space and ends up being a junk collector.

      I was the same way. My students told my principal that she was the only one that sat at it. It helped my case to get rid of my desk.
