Instead of simply sitting at their assigned desks, they can move to a space that works best for their group and work together on assignments, discuss their thinking, and help one another. My students were excited to see the new seating in our classroom and quickly wanted to try out the different options!\r\nAs we continue through the school year, I look forward to using these spaces for group projects, partner work, and collaborative learning activities.
