In fourth grade, it is our belief, that a classroom should not be set up in the same way as a cemetery, set up in straight rows & columns with everyone facing the same direction. We believe that every student learns best in their own unique way, and it is our job to support that to the fullest of our abilities. We believe that Flexible Seating assists in preparing students in many different ways:

• Organization - Students not having their own desk, means they are cleaning and organizing the classes space multiple times per day.

• Social Awareness - Sharing a space with everyone brings up many situations not addressed when students are assigned their own desk. Students (and teachers) will become better problem solvers, and more aware of the group around them.

• Flexibility - Whether it is not restraining our movers and shakers to a desk and chair, or being able to ask an overly social student to put themselves into a better learning space, we are equipped to provide a solution for every student.
