  Case: Classroom Design
I am interesting in teaching Kindergarten, but am struggling with how to set up my classroom. I know there are a lot of benefits with setting up clusters or tables for collaborative work, but I am worried that the 5-6 year olds won't be able to handle the distractions. I am looking for suggestions on how to set up the classroom and set expectations for the primary grades.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If you prefer clusters for collaborative work, then give it a try! Your students will be able to handle this setup if you provide clear expectations and a curriculum that encourages group work and discussions. Have regular class meetings to discuss behaviors that help learning and behaviors that distract from learning. Create a class rules list with your students. Also, try to keep the number of students at each table on the small side. Too many students at each table could be overwhelming for both you and your students. If the table arrangements don't work, you can always change it later on.

Comments: I really like this solution, especially with the idea that you can change it later on in the year! Students actually like seating chart changes every once in a while.

Comments: I like these ideas and you can at least try them out and see if they work. If they don't, you can make some changes to accommodate your student's needs.
