Bye Bye Teacher Desk!

I finally did it! I parted with my teacher desk... almost. It's true that got rid of the HUGE metal desk provided by my school, but I replaced it with a cute student desk from Target. It takes up a fraction of the space and looks so much cuter!
I haven't finished decorating, but here's my new desk from Target. It's metal with a tempered glass top.

I don't miss the storage the old desk provided at all. As I cleaned out my old desk I realized that I had other storage options for most of the items I housed in the drawers. I also noticed that I was storing a lot of junk treasures that were unnecessary and were recycled immediately.

I already feel lighter and the additional floor space I created will come in very handy with my group of 32 third graders. Finally, I have enough floor space to comfortably fit all of my students.

Have you gotten rid of your teacher desk? If so, how's it working out for you?

    I found you on the new blogger hop! I had never considered getting rid of my desk, but I am now. All it does is create/collect clutter. I'm never at it. Great idea...Now you've got me thinking! I love your owls!

      Thanks Jenny! Let me know what you decide about your desk. Once I made the decision, I can't believe I waited so long to do it.
