The 2020 school year brings a new set of challenges to the traditional classroom. Holding hands during morning meeting and sitting together on our classroom carpet are things of the past. Children grouped at collaborative tables is no longer a safe option. Social distancing is a skill which is particularly difficult for our youngest learners. My hope is that through the use of flexible seating, our kindergarten students will still have the option to learn and grow together in a fun and safe way.
Research shows that flexible seating gives students the power of choice, increasing engagement and overall ownership over their learning. I know that our students will benefit from the option to choose which learning space is most comfortable for them. With alternative seating, students may be seen swaying to and fro on wobble seats, increasing focus through inflatable wiggle seats, and taking portable floor cushions to different areas of the classroom, all from a safe distance. The possibilities are endless!
I hope that you will join us in helping to make our classroom a comfortable and exciting environment for our much-deserving students!
