My Project

Nowadays walking into a classroom with desks in rows is not appealing and definitely doesn't make a student want to come to learn. So what can we do to change this? Great question!

In my classroom, I want to make the classroom inviting and fun to learn.

What better way, then to use flexible seating. Every year, I try to add more items to my flexible seating repertoire.

Each year as new items arrive I see my students eyes light up, and continue to show growth in their learning. I believe this is because of the different ways I allow them to sit and move around the classroom with flexible seating.
