The students take charge of the furniture

This was my science class yesterday:


Note the creative way they are using the chairs. Not really what I had in mind, but they seemed to be comfortable, and more importantly, they seemed to be getting work done.

We'll have to see if this is just a fad or if it has staying power. This morning in Bible class they were still using their chairs this way.

At first I was going to tell them to sit on their chairs properly, but hesitated. I took a course at my own school this past summer and had to sit in those chairs for hours. They are NOT comfortable. So, if this was a way for students to be comfortable and still learn I was willing to try it.

We'll have to see what happens.

(Note the standing tables at the back, those have been well used, another way of thinking differently about how we use the space we have!)
