My students are absolutely LOVING the flexible seating! They clapped when I opened the boxes the day after they arrived they were so excited! My students use the flexible seating when they break off into groups to work on collaborative reading activities or projects. The \"Seat Circles\" as we call them, provide the students an opportunity to sit in a circle near each other when working. They absolutely love being able to spread out into the corners of the room to work on the activities. The \"Seat Circles\" provide them these opportunities instead of just sitting at their desks. \r\n I have seen the students excited since the \"Seat Circles\"arrived to meet and work on activities and discussions to practice with each others the Reading Standards I have introduced. They also enjoy using the \"Seat Circles\" to buddy up while they are editing each others work! \r\n They are also enjoying the \"Rocking Reading Chairs\" as we call them to cozy up and read independently.
