Your generosity means the world to us. \r\n\r\nWe began the school year in mid-August and our class of first-graders started the year off with so much enthusiasm and gusto. These desks played a big part in establishing the positive classroom environment. From the very beginning, the class loved sitting in table groups. I have found these tables easy to accommodate different groupings based on the various needs of the students or activities that we are about to accomplish. \r\n\r\nOne thing that I love is 'Tetris-ing' the tables into different configurations for small groups and testing. I have found that, depending on the arrangement, I can accommodate a group of 4-8 students in one small group setting. The lockable wheels help make these arrangements quick to set up, and then keep them in place when the students sit in their chair.
