  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!)
I would suggest trying out the group/table seating, and if it does not work there are other seating arrangements you can try. Kindergarteners can be a lot to handle at first, providing students with classroom structure is very beneficial. If your students become distracted, I would suggest trying different transitional techniques to help them stay focused. For example, clapping your hands or ringing a bell. As for the expectations, I would create a poster with all of the rules and hang it up on your classroom wall. Another idea is to create a fun song that lists the expectations which help students learn the rules, while they are actively engaged in the lesson.
