While I would LOVE to indulge in a Coke (Super Big Gulp, please!) there's no way my body could manage that calorie intake. Lucky you! So, my desk is relatively clear. It just keeps me feeling more peaceful that way. <BR/><BR/>I do have a favorite pen, though: my fountain pens are not far from me, and they can't easily be "borrowed" by a student as they're so singular looking.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-16411707979960458472008-09-07T18:30:00.000-04:002008-09-07T18:30:00.000-04:00I have post it note pads all over my desk!

I also have a laptop that I use to run my projector/smartboard. I have an open file holder that I keep lots of stuff in. I have a scanner and a color laser printer. I have a digital camera and dock.

Helps to relax at the end of the school day. :-)<BR/><BR/>I agree with what you said - I very rarely sit at my desk during the day. I'm always up and moving around with the kids. Even during planning I'm running around with my head cut off (like most teachers). :-)<BR/><BR/>There is an English teacher in our Freshman house that gives the kids their work the first 5 minutes of class and then sits at her desk and plays on her labtop the rest of the block! Unfortunately, she does this for all five of her classes. I don't get it. :-(M-Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597592214404682497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-46482790959188456792008-09-04T22:21:00.000-04:002008-09-04T22:21:00.000-04:00Hey, that's my desk!Actually, I was lamenting toda...Hey, that's my desk!<BR/><BR/>Actually, I was lamenting today at lunch about how much desk starts off just picture perfect, everything in it's place, but by the end of the day it's a mess. My fellow teacher and friend Judi said, "Well honey, that's because you don't sit behind it all day long. You just use it as a place to drop things until you can get to them."<BR/><BR/>She's right. I only sit behind my desk during planning (sometimes) and after the kids are gone and I'm doing paperwork. When the kids are in my room, I'm on my feet walking around the room. I don't know how anyone can teach from one spot all day.Mrs. Bluebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283080212189118357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-32792066987383165902008-09-04T16:05:00.000-04:002008-09-04T16:05:00.000-04:00I just counted - I have a desk and four 3-foot wid...I just counted - I have a desk and four 3-foot wide shelves that function as #13.<BR/><BR/>It may be time to re-evaluate and re-organize.Matthew K.

I'm now retired but do substituting and tutoring -- so I'm at school almost daily and in a lot of different classrooms -- some good some bad or at least very different from what was mine. I do have a comment about the teacher that sits down. Most days I was up -- around the room checking on students, but I found over the years that there are certain times when I had to sit down and say --- you are on your own. I taught writing --- they had to be able to write for the State of Texas and I had to get them ready. After days of me working with them and helping and prodding there would be that day when I had to find out what they could really do and on that day -- yep I spent the day glued to my seat, but it wasn't easy. More than you wanted to hear and why I had to say it I'm not sure. Have a good day and enjoy the upcomming weekend. :)Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800220805290554359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-32978430752859565082008-09-04T13:04:00.000-04:002008-09-04T13:04:00.000-04:00You sound like an EXCELLENT teacher!Happy TT - jus...You sound like an EXCELLENT teacher!<BR/>Happy TT - just visiting from the list randomly - mine's up too.Chrisseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480457289334886158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-47883534544378419172008-09-04T13:01:00.000-04:002008-09-04T13:01:00.000-04:00Very good list!!
