I have a Mrs. Beamster bobble head behind me which the kids like to come up
and play with. Last year, a student gave me a glass paperweight that looks
like a diamond and the children love to pick it up and look at it. At my old
school, I used to keep the library dragon on the desk.

At first I didn't think I had anything interesting, but I realize I have a
photocopy of Julius Erving's (Dr. J.) actual hand (where did I get this?)
stapled to the wall. Kids constantly put their hand on it and marvel at the hand
span of the great ballplayer. I used to have Shaq's foot, but it got
destroyed, of course.

I don't know how you guys have room for all this stuff on your circ desks! I
have a desk calendar, a pile of catalogs I'm currently using, and a file box
of library cards.
However, all these things are apparently of GREAT interest, because the kids
can't keep their hands off of them! In fact, the file box of library cards
got dumped on the floor because of this...over 500 cards sorted by teacher
<sigh>.
Behind my desk, hanging from a hook in the wall is a wooden mouse, about 6
inches long, with floppy legs. It is suspended from a VERY springy spring,
and gets pulled when the class is very good :-)

My library is a converted chapel and highly ornamented with stained glass
windows, the original altar, decorated arches, a painted canvas ceiling of
angels. Because of this I don't have a lot of space for other decorations.
The circ desk is pretty bare because my assistant is there and she doesn't like
stuff around. Besides, the boys always end up around my desk.
On my desk I have: an African Violet sitting under my Ottlite, bamboo stems
in a ceramic vase made by a former student in Art class (I need living things
around me), a small easel that I use to display interesting quotes or
cartoons about reading, libraries, character - currently "Do not footle lest you
become a flaneur", a toy cardinal that chirps when pressed (our mascot), a
Nancy Pearl action figure, a small statue of the Virgin Mary, an apple shaped
stress ball, a ceramic bunny that will be replaced next week with a hen and
rooster in spring outfits and in May with sports figures and other months with
season appropriate figurines.
