My 4th graders always know how to put a smile on my face.
These kids are my first class (and the school's first class) to experience flexible seating, and they've been such troopers.
I've had to experiment a lot with them, and we've have many trial and errors, but thankfully even more trial and SUCCESSES! Flexible seating is not easy to implement, but they've been an awesome group to work with!
We are a Title I magnet school located in East Hollywood, and many of our students have had the privilege of using iPads here! As wonderful as this is, getting away from the screens is also super important. My goal is to instill a lifetime love of reading, and a few of my kids are already well on their way!
My Project
My students are quite the active bunch! Luckily I have a bunch of voracious readers that have truly enjoyed book club and flexible seating.
After investing a lot my own money to start a flexible seating classroom, I found I needed to reach out for help in order to add a few more seating options for some of my active students and some class sets of books.
This includes a few wobble stools and some comfortable foam cubes.
I am also asking for help to get 2 more class sets of books for my students during our book club time. I've found it's such a great way to get kids motivated to read, discuss interesting topics, really dive deep into a book, and form memories that will last a lifetime!
