The flexible seating options will provide students the opportunity to have different ways to direct their focus. Many of my students have trouble sitting still and paying attention, so having balls to make small bounces on could let them get out some of that energy without directing their attention away from the speaker. The bean bag chairs will be put in our reading corner, where I am hoping to create an inviting nook that will make students want to read and spend time.
I run a literacy classroom, yet I don't have the first dictionary. How can students be expected to learn vocabulary and spelling without having a resource with which to look up tricky words? My students need to learn to use dictionaries as a resource rather than simply having me spell out words for them (or more likely have me simply push them to "sound it out").
The floor map puzzles, personal passports, and travel units go along with my own and my students' interest in learning about the world around them. Map puzzles are a great way to make learning geography hands-on, and passports make the concept of traveling in the classroom more real and concrete.
