Find out more about our classroom here!

Welcome to Miss Woodruff’s 2nd grade classroom!  Our classroom consists of 24 2nd grade boys.  We are one of the 5 gender specific classes in our school, and the only all boy classroom in the 2nd grade.  We love to read, write, play games, and move!  It is very common to see us taking a brain break to help keep our brains engaged during the day.

One of the things you will notice right away when you walk in our classroom is that we use stability seating.  We have learned through research that using stability seating is another way to keep us moving and keep our brains engaged.  Some of the stability seating we use is: stability balls, stability stools, and stability disks.  We also have a couple of gaming chairs that sit low to the ground and rock.  We also have standing desks, so we do not have to sit all day long when we do our work.  Each day when we come in to the classroom we grab our nametags from the pocket chart and choose where we will be sitting for the day.  We can choose to sit in the same spot as yesterday (if it’s still available), or we can choose somewhere new!

Another thing you will notice in our classroom is that we do not have a traditional seating arrangement.  We use tables instead of desks to help us form a community between each other.  The tables are also all over the room.  Some are to the sides of the room, some are at the front wall, and a few are in the middle of the room.  We are not required to be at our tables much during the day.  We can move about to help us do our best work in the classroom.
