Using space flexibility has been critical to meeting students’ needs in Pleasant View Elementary's fifth grade science class.

In addition to allowing students to move freely between two classrooms, there is a large room outside the classrooms that allows students to spread out for working in a quiet environment, working in groups, or taking assessments.
