  Case: Small Group Help
Small group is a difficult time during the day for my four year old students. I have to have independent groups in my class, which is hard because the kids do not like sitting still for thirty minutes. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can make my small groups run more smoothly?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Could you start with a shorter small group time and lead into the longer one? Find a carpet activity or something with playdough for the independent groups. Something they know how to do independently and will do for an extended period of time. Also, try to keep your independent groups smaller than the teacher-led groups.

Comments: I like this solution, that way the class becomes comfortable with small groups and eventually a large amount of time in one.
