play, sometimes there are academic games and other times they just engage in free play. This has been beneficial to the social
connections in the classroom. In addition, it allows the students to feel more comfortable in the classroom as they have the
opportunity to explore the classroom and dive deeper into their interests. The students use flexible seating.

incorporated into the learning. They love to get up, move around, and sing along to the songs. They love the Jack Hartmann songs
about sight words.
