Mini classroom makeovers yield more space for students

We worked together at Castro Elementary to make more room for kids this week! Teachers from the CORE Matters training class I teach in Denver Public Schools worked together to help their colleagues resolve space issues. Here a few pics from my visit there:

 

Teacher desk area before

Teacher area after (still needs to organize materials, but much more space for kids!)

Everyone helps to move furniture and empty the teacher desk for moving
