I am offering flexible seating to my Kindergarten students this year. The rug will provide a comfortable place for my students to work when choosing floor seating options like scoop chairs and lap desks. The couch will provide a place for students to work together. Flexible seating empowers students to make choices, and creates a sense of community where materials are shared and taken care of collectively. An inviting classroom promotes student engagement and enriches their learning experiences. It also helps me meet the needs of the diverse students that come through my door at the start of each school year. I feel excited to a part of a growing number of teachers that realize that the standard classroom setting no longer meets the needs of our student population today.
