FAQ - What is a "go to" tip for creating comfortable learning areas for students?
Designing comfortable, functional working spaces for children isn't hard or expensive. One trick we've learned whether designing for older students or our youngest, is to completely remove the adjustable legs of standard classroom tables. Management tip: Write the location of where you store the legs on a piece of masking tape and place the tape on the underside of the table. That way, should you have to restore the table to it's original height for some reason, you'll know where you stored them. Just look at how comfortable and engaged these first graders are in their Daily 5 activities.
Here is a close up of the short square table. The adjustable let has been completely removed. A clear disc protects the carpet from the metal leg.
