I'm starting with a reading table and three inflatable chairs. I plan on adding cushions to my traditional desks and arranging them as desk groups. I teach upper-school ELA, so enforcing expectations is fairly easy.
Mr Riedl do u ever have or had students that have a problem with fire drills or a sound sensitive student who is sensitive to the fire alarm in ur classroom? If so plz tell me all about that or u could also do a video about it haha I’d love to know thx
Mr. Riedl, thanks for the reply! I will definitely try them! I am starting slowly to move toward flexible seating, and yoga balls are my next addition. I enjoy your videos! Thank you!
You too, Matthew! I forgot to tell you when we were chatting in person that I first started out doing after school care. That's really tough work. Keep it up! I hope you're enjoying the kids at Sabin! 😊👍
Yes, but "disruptive" and "problematic" are relative terms. I've dealt with more difficult students when teaching 8th grade math at a public school in rural Eastern Oregon than my current 5th grade position at a Christian private school. There are difficult students at every school, but it's relative to the culture of the school, you know what I mean?
Thanks for sharing your classroom arrangement. I'm a training teacher and this is very useful. You seem to have a great balance of freedom and discipline, being able to assert yourself as the teacher when necessary. May I ask why you have a christian flag on the wall?
Good tips but I think u could add a little more color to ur classroom,it's kinda boring just like tan,green,and brown.I think the students will like the classroom with more colors the colors will bring positive vibies
So helpful thank you
You're welcome 😊

wobble cushons 👌
Thank you.
You're welcome! 😊👍
@@Riedlteach just for you to know (and however reads this), I am tweeting that you answered me back.
my teacher a couple years ago had yoga balls as seats, and our class loved it!
What do you recommend for storage of student books, notebooks, and other personal supplies with a flexible classroom?
I do community school supplies in my room, notebook boxes, and shelves for textbooks. I talk about that and show more in my classroom tour video. 👍
I am starting this with couches and beanbags. It is tough and expensive as I need to buy all the stuff. But it is also kind of a fun project
Love your videos! You are a BRILLIANT teacher
Thanks Zaour! 😊

No I'm sorry I haven't
@@Riedlteach oh ok I just thought that was a good question and I was curious
Awesome tips! Thank you for taking the time to do this video!
You're very welcome! 😊👍
What are the orange things under the yoga balls? I've seen people use pool noodles.
Bucket lids! I like them better than pool noodles. goo.gl/images/MCeiMD

@@Riedlteach thanks. Yeah it's lots of work but it's getting easy now.
Just a curious question, have you ever dealt with a disruptive or problematic child while teaching?
Yes, but "disruptive" and "problematic" are relative terms. I've dealt with more difficult students when teaching 8th grade math at a public school in rural Eastern Oregon than my current 5th grade position at a Christian private school. There are difficult students at every school, but it's relative to the culture of the school, you know what I mean?

You're welcome! Happy to help! There's a Christian flag because it's a Christian school. 😊👍
