Another School Year

This is my last weekend before teachers go back to school in my district.  The students will start on August 27.  I am taking a leap of faith this year and have done away with all of my desks and replaced them with tables.  I will post pics next week.  Do any of you fellow teachers use tables instead of desks?  How does it work?  I am a little nervous, because we have many changes taking place in our district this year.   We are switching from Envision Math to Investigations.  We  beginning Thinking Maps and we are going run-off paper free.  It is all a little bit nerve wracking.  Do any of you have comments on this? Anxious to hear from you...
