I got permission to have all but 6 desks removed.

The librarian and DLC are in a fixed schedule. If we are pulled out of it, teachers lose plan time.]]> 2017-12-06 16:39:00 UTC https://padlet.com/retta_kelley/o4darnxh8a6r/wish/213788167 Alyson https://padlet.com/retta_kelley/o4darnxh8a6r/wish/213788203 We have been able to stock our low-tech makerspace with community donations.

I am also looking to go full flex seating in my classroom next year, and I would try to incorporate this type of mobility in the classroom, too.

The teachers and students were taught how to check out their own books.

This way the class can go at the pace their comfortable with, and I can help more kids during instruction! 

After we had done this a few times, Christopher, a 5th grader, asked if he could do this to help his classmates!
