This year I will be implementing flexible seating into my classroom. The idea behind Flexible Seating is to create a more comfortable environment that helps students be their best learning selves. My goal is for our classroom to look more like a coffee shop or a living room than a traditional classroom. We will have a variety of high, medium and low seating, including a couch, seating cushions, camp chairs, small rugs and stand-up tables. Flexible seating will allow students to have a sense of ownership of "our" classroom and enabled them to become invested in their own education. Students will be able to work with others, share ideas and move around the room. We are requesting such items as a mobile laptop desk cart, plastic stack stools, and balancing pods.
