My Project

We have some regular flexible seating in our classroom, but nothing for the small group book club area. This would be a wonderful addition to the 5th grade classroom for our gifted and talented learners. This would allow communal conversation between students.

Providing these comfortable floor seats for the students to use as flexible seating will afford the students a more face-to-face communal quiet conversation area to share ideas about what they are learning.

Our classroom is a place where students learn from and with each other. Having another type of seating arrangement for book clubs would be a real asset.
