Q3: Is putting your desks in tables the same thing as having tables? #135EdChat

iCoachKristin Jan 11 @ 9:15 PM EST

A3: I think it could be as long as the desk acts more like a "cubby" and everyone can work everywhere in the classroom. #135edchat

Can we learn from this flexible seating? #135edchat

@masondmom Pillows from Oriental Trade have removable, washable cases. Took them home over break for a wash. #135edchat

This was almost as motivating as watching a Hoarders episode! Can’t wait to purge and rearrange tomorrow. Thanks #135edchat

Where can I find a tall table for my taller students or those who just want to stand? #135edchat

jlroderick Jan 11 @ 9:49 PM EST

My takeaway. Use your resources, reach out to other teachers, take a risk, and involve the kids! So much is possible! #135edchat

iCoachKristin Jan 11 @ 9:49 PM EST

Too funny. It was a good motivator! #135edchat

I've seen teachers use bed lifts that make the regular size desks taller. #135edchat

My take away - pitch the FLS idea to HGTV, could be huge! #135edchat
