Maybe at the beginning of the school year, I realize that rules have to be learned and reinforced. Then , gradually the kids can be permitted to choose their own seating.

I picked some great inspiration from your beautifully organized room. I love it btw. I have a feeling your little guys are going to love the lowered tables. Even my grade 6 students love it. We alternate seating every term and my lowered tables are always their first choice! Have fun with your new room!!!Lynnesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262248185812495755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8404976885379231280.post-56845615296711136972018-06-02T15:59:35.834-05:002018-06-02T15:59:35.834-05:00Where did you get the 3 tier book shelf w the scho...Where did you get the 3 tier book shelf w the school boxes and headphones?

That is my fear so I will probably enforce "if you talk off task, I GET to choose your seat" I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking that maybe I need to get to know the children first before making the decision to use the different types of seating.

I really want to do the same and am writing a grant in hopes of receiving funding for my project. I am need of photos to show my donors what I want to do with the grant funds. I love your ideas so much! Is there anyway that I can use some of the photos of your room for my grant proposal? Please email me at jeckberg2014@yahoo.com and we can chat a little more about this.

This group also had a lot of diverse learning needs, and I found that the kids continuously chose seating that was not in their best interest. For example, one of my high-needs students that had many OT concerns would lay down on the floor, which was not ideal. I didn't try it the following year, because I was warned that I was getting "the class." And then my class this year... I had to give them assigned everything. They couldn't handle the freedom, no matter how hard I tried to train them. I think it depends on the group, although some teachers would argue that alternative seating is actually best for your toughest students. I was tired of trying to get them to "make good choices" about their seating, and then having to move them when their choices weren't good. It saved me time to pick spots for them. I would try it again someday, though.
