"Off you go," I say. Students gather materials and seek a spot in which to show evidence of their learning, explore new topics of interest, or practice skills to develop fluency. Flexible seating isn't something that is new for us. What will be new is flexible seating with options for movement!
We are a first grade classroom with 17 students.
Our terrarium houses temporary critter visitors that we observe, study, and research. We love to read, share our learning, and think outside the box when problem solving.
We learn using a workshop based approach. This means we have short mini lesson. We then move onto independent or partner work. We work in small guided reading, writing, and math groups with our teacher.
My Project
When we work, we are able to choose our work spot. Sometimes this is under a table with a flashlight, at a table, on the carpet, on a stool, in one of our wicker chairs or on the wicker couch, on a floor pillow or bean bag. Being able to choose our own spots is important to us. We like to have voice and choice in our classroom. Wobble stools will help us to do that! We also like to move!
None of the options we currently have allows us to move in ways that are safe or non-distracting to others.
Wobble stools will help us to do that! They will honor students' needs and make a difference in their ability to focus on the task at hand, while still being able to move.
