September is somehow come and gone! Twenty new little learners are taking their seats...quite literally taking their "flexible seating" seats in Room 110. This year, having pondered our shared classroom space and wondering how to open it up more for twenty little people, I decided to try "flexible seating." This means we take turns through the week in choosing seating that "works for us" as individuals. We can lie down on a rug rectangle using a clipboard, kneel on a large cushion over a small side table, sit on a bench, sit on a chair, or on different types of cushiony seats. I will be honest, I went into this new system with some apprehensions...but I am (as usual) so impressed with the way our new students have used this system of choice. They are beginning to find out how their bodies like to sit, stand, lie...and where in the room they can focus to do their personal best. Super awesome outcome and I'm just so happy we gave it a go. Go newbies, go! Thanks to the big kiddos below who "posed" for these pictures! We used these pictures to create our "flexible seating chart" where we can choose our spot for our independent work!
