LidiyaDawn Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I don't have a desk ~ my laptop sits on a little wooden tv tray. Nothing else fits on there with it... the coffee table is right here though and at the moment it has: basket of markers & pencil crayons spray bottle (water to squirt the cats if they go bugging the birds) two empty pepsi cans six hair clips wooden coasters a few of dd14's fashion mags scotch tape two pairs of scissors tv remote dvd player remote PS3 controller and a lot of crumbs. Yes, I need to clean the coffee table off. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurad1125 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 stack of fabric bowls from orchestra concert bag of confetti from same concert OK, having been in orchestras for the last 28 years, I have to ask.

stephanier.1765 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 A picture is worth a thousand words. Today I've been working on art appreciation lessons for next year so that has pretty much overtaken my desk. The diet soda is a necessity for my sanity. And two critters also presently have their homes on my desk. One is a caterpillar in his cocoon and the other I haven't identified yet. We found it in the yard this morning and, since it looked interesting, we brought it inside to look up. We probably should get around to doing that.

laurad1125 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Centerpieces for the tables at the dinner concert! We do a big concert every year as our major fundraiser--lots of silent auction items. We raised over $4000 this year! I made fabric bowls, put tissue paper in them and then each had 6-8 paper roses made out of old orchestra music. I scattered star and note confetti around the table. It looked very nice. And now one of the high schools has borrowed the roses for some sort of orchestra thing. Ahh, now I get it. :hurray: I was picturing a concert hall and just couldn't quite get there, KWIM? Sounds gorgeous! I love the sheet music roses. The paper weight that is on my desk is a wadded up piece of sheet music (plastic, though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rootsnwings Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 oh dear, this might get embarrassing! :D Ok, first off let me explain that our desk is L-shaped, and right in our living room - this is school-central. So. I'll start at the top! On top of the hutch is: A full set of encyclopedias, front & center Scholastic's Children's dictionary UILHE & UILSE. The first 3 volumes of SOTW readers, 3 AGs and all 4 levels of audiobooks for SOTW. My personal copy of TWTM You Mean I'm not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?! :glare: My teachers guides that are not currently in use Future curriculum (SOTW3--we're about to start next month) not currently in use. Preschool math manipulatives: pattern blocks, c-rods, counting bears, lacing beads & some Lauri puzzles to keep the littles busy. The preschoolers' Calendar 3 baskets set on top of the encyclopedias that contain random, various, office supplies that I need to keep far away from baby! Inside the hutch: Current teachers guides for 4th grade: K12 Lit, Grammar & Spelling, SOTW & Singapore Math Same shelf: some DVDs (Math U-See Gamma & MUS Skip Counting songs) & CD-Roms (History through the ages Timeline) Current teachers guides for preschool: Explode the Code (A), Singapore Essentials K, Miquon Orange and additional (future) preschool books (ETC B&C + Miquon Red - Purple) Same shelf: Some Counting potatoes we use to sing "Hop potato, Hop potato!" and count to 20 with! :D Got that idea just last week from a sweet mama on this forum!!! :) 2 Staplers and a 3 hole punch I HATE Some magnetic tape for things I like to laminate w/ a magnet on the back for morning board A couple ADD DVDs: Totally ADD Tips for an Organized Life + ADD & Loving it?! Stationary for Braden from when he was like 4 that has construction vehicles on it but they're just too cute to throw away! :) Our memory boxes: One each for memory work, Latin & Spelling The big fat "Story of the World 2, Medieval Times" Notebook & my 2010-11 Plans binder A cabinet that holds a ton of junk, mostly leapster and leap frog cartridges and books and other CD-Rom stuff... Onto the ACTUAL desk: (as my almost 4yo would say! :tongue_smilie:) The big printer, then my monitor & keyboard, mouse 2 little dry erase markers + a dry eraser & 2 dry erase lapboards I use with the littles mostly. A coffee cup on my AU coaster (war eagle!) A caddy full of eraser-capped, sharpened pencils, sharpie click-its, grading pencils, highlighters and pens. A set of pocket references: Spanish Dictionary, Dictionary & Thesaurus 2 plastic Magazine files hold all of DS(10)'s school books: 1 for Math, History, Science & Latin and 1 for LA. Our pc is one of those really small ones, then we have our external hd sitting on top. A library audio play-away is ontop of that at the moment On the "L" of the desk DS just finished writing his literary analysis of King Arthur and so all his lit stuff is shuffled about with his planner, SOTW reader & ten facts, plus his Singapore IP book he was working on earlier... I really need to put all that away! On the end of our desk is a spot for bills that need to be paid and currently there's a random basket there because I'm about to paint ALL the baskets in our living area espresso and while that one usually goes in the desk drawer, I didn't want to forget it when I started painting! :D So. Hope that makes you guys feel better! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
