I would like to begin using flexible seating in my classroom however there is one big question that prevents me from going forward. Where do they keep all of their stuff?Hopefully every student will have a book bin and a pencil box to keep their things in. Classwork folders, homework folders, a good book or 3 to read, and cursive booklets all easily fit in the book bins. Their pencil boxes house pencils, erasers, crayons, password cards, and other trinkets that seem to be magnetically attracted to 7 and 8 year olds.
This is where the fact that I have already ditched the desks in favor of tables has helped me a lot. I鈥檓 not sure I would be able to tackle the daunting task of setting up flexible seating if I haven鈥檛 already dealt with the question of, 鈥淲here will they keep their stuff?鈥
