The desks that we have in our classrooms are too large and bulky for the needs of my students. I noticed that the more space I provided, students felt more comfortable to work at their own pace and created outstanding work.
Students will be able to move freely around the classroom and choose where they want to sit comfortably and with whom. This is critical for their independence and relationship building.
