A classroom without desks is working. Only one children said he wanted to sit at a desk. He tried out my teacher desk and decided to sit somewhere else. We all worked at the tables doing math activities this afternoon. I was interesting to watch. Every child decided to sit on a chair, not stand like they said they would.
During writing and reading time the couch and the floor have been the favorite spots.
The children are impressing me with their wise choices, and wonderful discoveries. Today in math one child came to ask help with a problem she was working on. (49+52=) I ask her what 4+5 was. She told me the answer, then she told me that 40+50=90 and quickly added the other two number. That is fantastic thinking! Another child discovered that there are 10 tens in 100. Wow! Another child did not know she could read and surprised herself by reading a whole book. I am impressed.
