As some of you were able to see at the Meet & Greet, our 3rd-grade classroom has a different design this year. I have taken a risk and tried out flexible/alternative seating in my classroom. This means that when students are working they will have the freedom to find comfortable spaces around the room to do their best work. They might be kneeling, standing, sitting at a table with an exercise ball or stool, sitting on the futon, laying on the carpet. There are many possibilities of what this can look like in a classroom. Research shows that students are able to focus and do their best work when they are comfortable. It has been very successful and the students are really enjoying it! I hope all of you will get the opportunity to visit during Curriculum Night and experience the seating. I have included a few, very informative links with some great articles and videos. Please take the time to check them out. These links can also be found under the "Parent Resources" tab. Gently used donations are welcome-please contact me first! Contact me with any questions or concerns in regards to our flexible seating.
