I always get tons of questions about this little table, so I thought I’d use this post to answer some of the most common ones.
.
.
I use this table as my guided reading table/desk. Class sizes are really small at my school, so I rarely have more than three students in a reading group.
.
.
I got the table from another teacher after my first year of teaching. It had been at my school for years, and is just a regular school table with a wooden surface and black metal legs. .
.
I didn’t like the look of the brown tabletop, so I covered it with black contact paper and put black electrical tape around the edge. The black metal legs had also begun to rust, so I sprayed them with black matte spray paint.
.
.
After one year, I added the phrase “work hard, be nice” to the table. The phrase is actually part of a doodle font from @aprimarykindoflife called APL Positive Pants. I made the decal out of vinyl using my Silhouette Cameo and it has lasted two years with minimal peeling. .
.
The contact paper has lasted for three years but probably needs to be redone this summer because small areas have just started peeling this year. I may add another vinyl quote once I re-cover the table, although I’m not sure what it will be yet. If you have any suggestions (or any other questions), let me know in the comments!

P O S T || P L A N N I N G || D A Y #1 This year we have 4 days of post planning (cleaning our classrooms and attending meetings after students have already been dismissed for the summer).
•
As I’m cleaning, I was able to gather all the labels I made this year. These all have the same cactus and white shiplap background. Click on the link in my profile label ✨Absent Bin✨ to get these.
Most of my Insta scrolling right now has me bursting with ideas for next year. THIS. @headoverheelsforteaching has this gorgeous bulletin board in her classroom and I thought this would be such a cool activity to do with Catcher! Holden is constantly doubting himself and self-deprecating, much like many of my students. This could pair beautifully as a way to combat negative self-talk. Thank you for in inspiration, Joanne!! SAVED!! Who else is scrolling and saving like crazy right now?! .

At the end of the year, I give students the option to create memes about our school year and class; I show them their memes on the last day of school. Students always take this opportunity to roast me, which I think is just so funny! Building community and relationships until the very last day is so important. Here’s a sneak peek of just a few out of the actual 100 memes that were submitted! There’s a longer thread of these memes on my Twitter (same handle as Instagram)
