I am awful about having neat piles of stuff and my desk just ended up being a place for clutter. I don't even really use the filing cabinet the school gave us (it lives in the closet). I use my kidney bean table as a "home area" and have two small bookshelves behind it and a set of 3 plastic drawers underneath it. I still have some clutter, but I'm getting better about it. c: Hope it all goes as well for you! And Thanks for the Versatile Blogger Award!<br /><br /><a href="http://teachingfuninthesun.blogspot.com>Teaching Fun in the Sun</a>Patricia Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761294223475933473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488753456440456476.post-62252701293105786522012-01-05T19:31:28.350-07:002012-01-05T19:31:28.350-07:00So I have a mini-desk in the main part of my class...So I have a mini-desk in the main part of my classroom that has my computer and a some pens and stuff.<br /><br />I also have an office.<br /><br />I know, an office.

The school provided it for me, so that is one less thing I have to buy:) Good luck!CancelBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00051270847650901226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488753456440456476.post-22241378020881425522012-01-05T15:48:46.579-07:002012-01-05T15:48:46.579-07:00Oh you poor thing Erika!

Just think of the plastic drawers as the desk. They pretty much are, just more condensed. I think you will be happy you did it (though I think everyone thinks I'm nuts at my school!!) I am very happy without mine. I hope the rest of your week goes nicely :)<br />KristenKristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502794638519071800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488753456440456476.post-30607496197686758242012-01-05T15:23:21.466-07:002012-01-05T15:23:21.466-07:00You totally have me craving chips and salsa.

I used a long, rectangular table and put a 3 drawer cart underneath it to store things. That probably doesn't constitute as not having a desk though :) I love that you're an animal lover too...I feel the same way about them!<br /><br />Bonnie<br /><i><b><a href="http://livingawonderfulife.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Living A Wonderful Life</a></b></i>Bonnie Waltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314411508300125134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488753456440456476.post-42176600954213224522012-01-05T15:16:03.329-07:002012-01-05T15:16:03.329-07:00My partner teacher got rid of her desk this year a...My partner teacher got rid of her desk this year and is struggling a little bit. She feels like she has too much clutter in other areas. I think she's enjoying the more space but trying to figure out the best way to organize without it. I switched my desk for a much smaller desk and like the space it saves but feel I needed a desk for all my "important" clutter :) I bet you can make it work! <br />StaceeTiggeriffic 2nd Gradershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828006024553572955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488753456440456476.post-80875981721322494342012-01-05T06:38:50.715-07:002012-01-05T06:38:50.715-07:00You will love not having a desk!

When he was away in Korea for a year I fostered a mama cat and her 5 newborn kittens - if he hadn't been coming home I probably would have talked myself into keeping all of them (with help from my kids of course!) Luckily he has a bit more common sense than I do in regards to how many pets its wise to take on!<br /><br />I took out my teacher desk except for a small stand at the front for my laptop and elmo to run the Smartboard and a small stand at the back of the room for my teacher computer (why I have to have 2 computers in one room is a mystery!). I love the way it gives me more space for my students and our centers! My neighbor has a great big hulking desk and two tables that takes up about 1/4 of her room - every time I go in I itch to remove stuff lol! Good luck, all projects are ugly in the middle stages, don't let it get to you, it's a work in progress!<br /><br />Jennifer @ <a href="http://herdingkats.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Herding Kats In Kindergarten</a>Jennifer K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15114666136412667718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488753456440456476.post-74188292047302905762012-01-04T22:25:46.518-07:002012-01-04T22:25:46.518-07:00Check it out!! :)
