Parents,
As you explore our classroom you will notice the physical layout of our room looks somewhat different from a traditional classroom. This is because we are implementing a research-based concept for classroom design called flexible seating.
Flexible seating is a concept rooted in educational research that encourages students to choose their type of seating based on their learning preferences. Some students prefer to sit on the floor or on their knees. Some want to sit on a traditional chair or a sitting ball for a little extra movement. We have all these options and more in our classroom.
Students are not locked-in to a seating assignment and will have the ability to make a different seating choice each day.
Here is the flexible seating routine:
Each morning students will remove their name tag from their coat hook.
Then they choose their seat by putting their name tag on the table.
The students will use this spot for table work time throughout the day.
At the end of the day the students put their name tags back on their hook.
It is simple but gives the student a choice and they love it!
If you have questions about flexible seating, please let me know.
