Q1: How do arrange the seating in your classroom? Is it flexible or permanent?#2ndaryELA

LynchLiteracies Aug 1 @ 8:05 PM EDT

A1. I like to arrange students in groups facing board. I also share a classroom, so I have to be flexible of other Ts preferences #2ndaryELA

eslcarissa Aug 1 @ 8:05 PM EDT

A1 I provide options & they have a home in a "traditional seat" Samples: https://t.co/p5VkMgho0h https://t.co/wOa3qI95Wl #2ndaryELA

A1: My seating plan is desks in paired rows or groups, but we move them almost daily depending on the activity. #2ndaryELA

mr_meighen Aug 1 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: Seating is flexible, but I'm looking to add more options. We have tables, standing desks, balance balls, and floor pillows. #2ndaryELA

LynchLiteracies Aug 1 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1. A1. Getting new desks this year. Any ideas of how I should arrange them? I have 24 - debating between groups of 3 or 4. #2ndaryELA

happyteachheart Aug 1 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: My seating was permanent. I liked having the control to be strategic with Ss grouping. Flexible sounds intriguing though! #2ndaryela

MrsToflinski Aug 1 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: I always start with rows facing the Smartboard and change to pods when needed. #2ndaryELA

MrsKOcampo Aug 1 @ 8:06 PM EDT

I'm trying pods this year. I naturally use TPS so I figured keep my students in groups from day 1! Fingers crossed 🤞 #2ndaryELA

LynchLiteracies Aug 1 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1. When working independently, many students elect to sit in groups on the floor as opposed to their desks #2ndaryela

secondarysara Aug 1 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: We do permanent seating in tables, but I assign new seats quarterly and/or by project. I prefer rows but the room is small! #2ndaryELA

MaddyLavoe Aug 1 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: This is going to be my 1st year with flexible seating. Any tips for implementing? #2ndaryela

MrsToflinski Aug 1 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 cont: This year we are in a new PK-12 building with new diamond shaped desks w/ tiered heights, so it will be new for me #2ndaryELA

ncremeens Aug 1 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: I have tables facing the Promethean & a few flex seating options for independent reading/writing time - hope to add more soon #2ndaryela

school_suburbs Aug 1 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: I have some flexible seating options, like high top tables,comfy chairs, & two couches, but everythiing faces the front #2ndaryela

literarymaven - Moderator Aug 1 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 I have a teeny office so I can't really move things around :/ It's a tight fit with me and 6 students #2ndaryELA

SmithsLiteracy Aug 1 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 I have groups at tables. I have rugs, camping chairs, and pillows for flexible seating. #2ndaryELA

MegwinEnglish Aug 1 @ 8:07 PM EDT

In reply to @LynchLiteracies

ErinBoiles Aug 1 @ 8:08 PM EDT

I group students together. I'm wanting to do flexible seating but am nervous to try with my first year in HS #2ndaryELA

SixthGradeMade Aug 1 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: It depends on the day or activity. Sometimes they're in rows, groups, or pairs, & sometimes they get to sit wherever! #2ndaryELA

mdshepss Aug 1 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: I'm still trying to figure it out. I did the Socratic circle last year, but it had its drawbacks. Still deciding for next yr #2ndaryELA

In reply to @LynchLiteracies

MrsToflinski Aug 1 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: I like the idea of flexible seating, but with a brand new building and brand new desks/chairs I don't see that as an option #2ndaryELA

2peasandadog - Moderator Aug 1 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Q2: Does your classroom decor have a theme or is it all about functionality? #2ndaryELA

LynchLiteracies Aug 1 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A2. I have a color scheme. Ledges & shelves are coral; so try to complement with that. This year, I'm using black and lime green. #2ndaryELA

SherbakEnglish Aug 1 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: My desks are set up in a U facing the board, which is good for a stage for my Speech classes. I'm looking for something new. #2ndaryela

A1 - I have mostly desks arranged in groups of 3. I also have some in rows too for students that prefer that #2ndaryELA

happyteachheart Aug 1 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A2: I loved having a theme! Monsters when I taught MS. I would switch it every year because I had to switch classrooms every year #2ndaryela

2peasandadog - Moderator Aug 1 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A2: The theme is keep it clean and organized. My room is small for 30+ middle school students. #2ndaryela

mr_meighen Aug 1 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A2: Wish I had a theme. Classroom is mashup of random things I hang on every flat surface & none of the furniture really matches. #2ndaryela

LynchLiteracies Aug 1 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A2. Also trying to coordinate with new furniture #2ndaryELA

hcarp_cms Aug 1 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1 - I also have a futon but am thinking of using it for VIP this year - any success with VIP? #2ndaryELA

MrsToflinski Aug 1 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A2: I have a new bright blue accent wall; was thinking of a "beach" theme, but haven't committed to it -- I always incorp. owls! #2ndaryELA

SixthGradeMade Aug 1 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A2: I have more of a color scheme! #2ndaryELA

eslcarissa Aug 1 @ 8:11 PM EDT

I am so not that organized! But I know a lot of teachers who do something like that and it works well! #2ndaryELA

In reply to @MaddyLavoe

mdshepss Aug 1 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A2: I have a color scheme this year, blue and white, but I'm not crafty enough for a whole theme! #2ndaryELA

school_suburbs Aug 1 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Q2 I try to keep a color scheme b/c I'm type-A like that, but it's mostly about what is going to keep things slowing smoothly #2ndaryela

JJ_Burry Aug 1 @ 8:11 PM EDT

I also love the idea of flexible seating, but I'm not sure how it would work... #2ndaryELA

In reply to @MrsToflinski

eslcarissa Aug 1 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A2 I have a color (teal). No theme but I try to make it homey It's chaos, but heres a bulletin board https://t.co/if3amDJIal #2ndaryELA

ncremeens Aug 1 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A2: No theme- I just like to make it feel homey with a lot of color, book covers, and interactive BBs #2ndaryela

LynchLiteracies Aug 1 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2. Front board displays h/w and objectives. Plan to re-purpose cork placemats & picture frames for portability of displays #2ndaryELA

JJ_Burry Aug 1 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2: No theme. I like to keep all possibilities open! #2ndaryELA

In reply to @JJ_Burry

secondarysara Aug 1 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2: Just a color theme - we have a turquoise blue accent wall, so the rest of the room is mostly turquoise, black, and white! #2ndaryELA

hcarp_cms Aug 1 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2 - no real theme - love the coffeehouse ideas I've seen though! #2ndaryELA

2peasandadog - Moderator Aug 1 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Q3: Explain how you keep classroom supplies and materials organized. #2ndaryELA

LynchLiteracies Aug 1 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A3. Love using pencil pouches to store tape, scissors, glue, highlighters, etc. for each student. Clear lets me see inside, too. #2ndaryELA

LynchLiteracies Aug 1 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A3. Used these bins last year to store supplies for each group of desks- not sure if I will again. Any ideas to re-purpose them? #2ndaryELA

MellowEducator Aug 1 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: My seating chart is flexible! My Ss get agitated because it could change five times in one week depending on what happening! #2ndaryELA

school_suburbs Aug 1 @ 8:15 PM EDT
