We are SO excited to have flexible seating in our classrooms this year! The idea is that every student has a different learning style and we want to empower each student to choose which seat will best meet their needs. Desks are still an option if that is what works best. Our seating options include stability balls, floor cushions, wobble chairs, seat bubbles, and standing desks.
We are so honored to be a part of the Woodland family and get to know your
children. Thank you for sharing them with us! We look forward to a wonderful year in
3rd grade! Nicci Bandermann
