  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.

You can first just try out tables or small groups. If that does not work, then you might want to try rows. Either way with younger grades you tend to switch locations a lot of if they are sitting by themselves at desks you can always call them over to the carpet or a common area for certain parts of a lesson etc.
