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!) Don't give up on small group time, I really think that once you figure out how to make this time run smoothly, the students will respond positively. Try incorporating more physically active, interactive, and engaging activities into group time, that way students are staying interested in instruction and are not just sitting around.
