Yes! I've done to flexible seating a couple of years ago. So there are options! I'll set my desk only. #makeitreal

Could you set up part of the room and have them set up part? Have them draw an ideal reading nook or centers area? #makeitreal

Yep! I use an INSPIRATION wall. (I teach K, 1 and 2) and also have a magic shelf--same idea. Anything that they can own. #makeitreal
