[quote=Anonymous]As an elementary teacher, we need to think outside the box on how to teach students and how they effectively learn. We are so use to having kids in desks that when someone does something outside the box it is called insane. I for one am going to try to have only a limited amount of desks int he classroom. I have chosen to do this after going to a conference given my the two sisters who have written and the Books The Cafe and The Daily Five. My students will be doing a lot of reading in the classroom. How often do you read in a desk? We don't we read in our beds, on the couch, on a pillow on the floor. Desks can sometimes hinder the creativity of students. As a parent want my own children to learn. And if that means the teacher is going to try to have limited desks in the classroom, I am all for it. I will have some desks for those learners that need them (because we all have different learning styles). I can't wait to see my students grow and learn in this type of environment. Maybe you should ask the teacher her purpose and why she chose to do what she is doing. You might like the answer. As parents we also need to think outside the box. [/quote]
