CLASSROOM PICS
Hi, I'm planning on doing the same dog theme by School Girl Style for my Kindergarten class next year :) Do you only use the milkcrates as seats for the children? I love the idea of that, but do they ever get tired of not having a back to the seat?
ReplyDeleteHi! They love their seats, but truthfully they don't spend very much time in them. I am a huge believer in allowing students to learn where they learn best. Some children choose to sit at tables, but I'm finding most prefer to lay on the floor using a work rug and clipboard. I always relate the seats to stability balls that also don't have back rests. I have yet to have a student complain. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
