An Exciting Week

9/13/2019

36 Comments

 
Dear Readers,
     This week is an exciting week for our class!  We got a new Clever Touch board in our classroom this week!  We needed it when we figured out that our regular Smart Board could not work very well.  It was hard to see with the lights on, and it was hard to write on it.  It wouldn't write or let us touch the screen at all.  Our new Clever Touch board is awesome!  This week was also exciting because we had our first substitute teacher, Mrs. Heyd.  She was really nice and caring.  Many of us got Caring Cowboys for being respectful, responsible and safe while she was here.  Finally, we received our new tables for our classroom!  Now we can get rid of our old desks and have more flexible seating in our classroom.  Some of our flexible seating choices are: yoga balls, yoga mats, wobble stools, a bench, wobble cushions, kneeling pads, a standing desk, scoop chairs, our take-a-break chair, normal chairs and camp chairs.  This was an exciting week!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Holliday's Class

Questions:

1.  Which kind of flexible seating would you want to use in our classroom?

So excited to hear all the new things going on in your second grade classroom. Congratulations on all the Caring Cowboys, keep up the good work! I think if I were in your classroom, I would like to sit on a yoga ball, I heard they help you focus on your work. Let me know if you would agree.

Sounds like it’s been a lot of fun so far in second grade. As for flexible seating, it would be hard to choose a favorite. I’d like to try the yoga ball, standing desk and scoop chair. I love all the options! I’m sure you all have your favorites as well!

Hello Class!

It sounds like you all had a fun week. I wish I could be in 2nd grade again! If I were in your class, I would try a yoga ball. There were a lot of options, it was hard to pick just one. Will you choose the same flexible seating daily, or try something different?

I hope you all enjoy your new chairs and board!

Sincerely,

Tamika (Antennie's mom)

I normally chose the same flexible seat daily but if it's not available I will make a different choice for the day.

Dear Bryce,

I would pick a different seat daily. This way I could experience each seat, and see which one I like best. After trying them all, I would pick my favorites and sit in those the most.

Austin likes the wobble stools, and the standing table from last years experience. It will be great to have several options.
So glad they have these opportunities.

That is an exciting week! A well working Clever Touch is so fun and useful. :)

I would choose a standing desk if I was in your classroom. What a cool time to be a 2nd Grader.

I agree with Elizabeth - standing desks are great and really help with concentration. I would recommend an anti-fatigue mat to go with it, though, if people will be using it for a prolonged period of time.

I would like the standing desk because I like to move around while I work. We have this in my classroom and my students love it. It also allows the students in the back row to see better over heads.

Dear Ben,

I do agree with the wobble stool. I do not like the bench, as I think kids may be distracting to other kids by accident. I think the best thing would be to get samples of all the different options from other rooms, and then take a vote. Then your class could get some of the top choices. Do you agree with me?

Dear, Class
I vote Wobble Stools . I vote that because I think that it will help you focus . I hope at least someone agrees . I also think you are very lucky to get a new Clever Touch board and tables . I agree that you had a very exciting week . Do you agree with me that you are very lucky? I agree that it was very smart of you to get a new smart board . I also agree that it was very smart to get new tables.

I love all the different seating options- I am not sure which one I would choose until I had the opportunity to try them all out. I wish I had these choices when I was in second grade:)
