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!

Hi Kayla! Love your classroom! This was my first year using flexible seating and I found the kids tended to the ball chairs. I have bucket chairs with pillows (kind of like your crates), floor pillows, scoop chairs, stool, and "teacher chair". However, the most popular all year were the ball chairs. I'm wondering if I sent you some pics of my room, would you be willing to give me some advice?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I ended up having to assign a placement for some kids because of the choices they would make (sitting next to a friend and non-stop talking), how do you combat that? I'm sure it's just procedure and expectation, but have you had to do anything like assign a seat (but they can choose what they sit on)? Thank you! Love the blog!

I agree that a second pair of eyes is absolutely essential to avoid rejections. Through WordsRU.com I was able to get top class editing and proofreading, manuscript critique. They also write excellent author profiles and book synopsis, so pretty much the entire package.

Learning to proofread your work yourself is a a must-have skill. But, it always helps to have a second pair of eyes review your work to make sure you haven't missed embarassing typos, or grammatical and syntactical errors. I'd suggest WordsRU.com for this. It also saves you a lot of time to have your work formatted according to the right style. Saves you a lot of time and allows you to focus on your work.
