I have decided to branch out this year and transform my classroom from an ordinary desk and chair arrangement to a flexible seating arrangement. I have already purchased and/or created several different seating options for the students, such as wobble stools, stationary stools, padded crate seats, camping chairs and bouncy ball seats. While making this change, however, I have realized that these new seats do not work with regular desks, and instead I need tables. These tables will be the backbone of my flexible seating system. The students will be able to sit 4 to a table with a seat of their choice each day. This will enable them to use the flexible seating more efficiently, but it will also foster cooperation and a greater sense of community as they are easily able to move around the room and interact with different classmates each day. The extra stool will be used with a set of 3 that I already have to make a complete grouping, and the bouncy bands can be used on the regular chairs for those students who prefer to sit in a more traditional seat, but still need movement. The rug will be the center of my "carpet time" routine and ensure that each student has a space to call their own while seated on the floor. It will anchor our gathering place in the front of the room, where we spend quite a bit of time, and add that soft touch to an otherwise blank space.
