Dear Families,
I am writing to inform you of an exciting change that is starting to take place in our classroom. I have begun to incorporate flexible (or alternative) seating. This means that when students are working they will have the freedom to find comfortable spaces around the room to work. They might be kneeling, standing, sitting, working on carpet squares, leaning on a pillow with a clipboard, sitting at a desk with an exercise ball or wobble stool. There are many possibilities of what this can look like in a classroom. I have started by incorporating exercise balls. Research shows that students are able to focus and do their best work when they are comfortable. Classrooms across the nation are changing the way student work spaces look. I have included a link at the bottom that will give you a better idea of what this looks like.
We would love any donations in helping make our classroom a successful learning space for every child. If you are interested in learning more about donating, please contact me.
Thank you so much for your support!
Ms. Whitmer
