  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.

Your students will surprise you! Kindergarten is definitely capable of sitting in clusters for collaborative work. You just have to be very thorough with teaching expectations and procedures that correlate with these groups and reinforcing these behaviors. You may have to make adjustments like separating certain students or placing an apprehensive student with a group that will encourage him or her to participate more, etc. I have seen clusters work excellently for the high-energy, talkative students because they're getting the interaction they need within their classwork.
