I have round tables. There is a pencil holder in the center of the table, but that is all. I have a computer made cursive alphabet across the front of the room, and a number line across the back. Because of state testing, I have to remove or cover everything, so I don't like to put up a lot. I teach in a small school. I rarely have more than 18 students. I don't need nameplates to remember the kids names--I've got them down by the end of the first day. I don't worry about subs because I am never out. On those RARE occasions I have to be out, the sub has a class list to refer to.
