classroom arrangement
By Susan/ok

Clip to ScrapBook   
After 18 years of shoving desks around in different arrangements I have finally come up with one that I love. I have given up on all desks facing the board etc. I figured this out by shoving some groups or rows of desks all the way to the wall. Some kids even face a wall or the back of a shelf. I love this arrangement because it leaves quite a bit of open floor space that can be used in many ways. So, what do they do when I am instructing? How do they see the board? They move. A few move across the room, most just turn their chairs around and scoot over some. It takes some time to practice when and how to move, but it has been worth it to me.
