Sit on it Kiddos!
|
Hello Everybody! Throughout the duration of my alternative grad school program I want to research a number of topics so I will be better prepared for the day I have my very own classroom. This week I observed a teacher who did not have chairs in her classroom, instead her students sat on stabilities balls. The research she conducted led her to believe that this type of seating would create the best results from her students. During the same class she directed students to split up into groups to complete their assigned reading. At this time some students transition to sitting on bean bag chairs, rugs, and many other alternative seats. I began to wonder how I would prefer my classroom to be set up. Would I want students to sit in a more classical arrangement of desks, would I want them to sit around tables, would I use the idea of stability balls? I can see benefits to all different types of seating and would like to hear your knowledge or personal experiences that may help me make a decision! What would you suggest I use for seating in my classroom? I am hoping to hear some new ideas I have not heard of! Thanks for your input!
