Tables

The five tables in the room house a variety of different activities. Students sit at these tables in different configurations. There are no assigned seats and students do not have individual desks or consistent desk spots. Rather, they either choose where to sit or are assigned to work in particular groups or on specific activities. Included here are video examples of the ways in which work happens at the tables.
