One of the question I have been asked the most since students have returned to the building is, Who carved their initials into this desk?
It's a question I cannot answer. "The desks aren't mine," I tell the students. "They were moved into my room for social distancing. In a regular year, I have tables."
"What do you mean?" asked someone yesterday. "What kind of tables? Cafeteria tables?"
"No," I shook my head. "Classroom tables." I swept my arm in an arc across the room. "You know, like school tables, where students sit together and work and learn and share their ideas."
"Oh!" the kid nodded. "I get it! You're a table teacher."
"Right!" I nodded. "I sure am."
