Creative Seating

Creative seating in a 21st Century Classroom is pretty fun to shop for! I had some cozy furniture already from a DonorsChoose project and some milk crate seating I made one summer. On Face Book, the Scoop Rockers were the most sought out item on one of the first grade chat groups. I know my students will love to sit in one of these cozy rockers for read-to-self! And when Target put the sand chairs on clearance, our group texts went crazy! My daughter thought we were hoarders, but we were just buying them for other teachers.  We're good like that, aren't we?  The "I've got your back" attitude in teaching is so important! I love my team!!
I just found out my desks will be in between August 28th and Sept.1st - just in time for school to start after Labor Day! Here are some of my new chairs.

You'll notice some stacked light bulbs in the background.  Part of our request was to change the lighting.  I wanted 2500K-2700K (Kalvin) lighting, but they put in 5000K lighting. The difference is I wanted yellow-orange spectrum and they put in blue spectrum.  I get migraines, and I cannot work with all the lights on.  When I have a migraine, the 5000K lights look like you could land a jet in my room when they are all on.
I'll post more pictures as I get my new room ready.  I've been moving my son into a new apartment post-graduation from college, and moving my daughter into an apartment tomorrow for college. Busy time of year! Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by! Please come back, as I'm getting better at this!
