I don't know about you, but I'm one of those people that stood in the middle of my classroom at the beginning of the year and just stared at the space, trying to figure out what the best furniture arrangement would be. I stared. And stared. And stared. And then I arranged and kept my things that way ALL YEAR. I know for some of you the idea of keeping your room the same the whole year just makes you get the heebie jeebies, but for me it was my version of peace.
Whether you all but glue your furniture in place or love to change things up every month, we can all agree that choosing how to lay out our room and arrange our student desks is a teacher art form.
Tomorrow, I will share my tried-and-true way to arrange desks, but for now, we want to hear from YOU!
So, we're all on pins and needles wondering: What works for you? What's your favorite way to group or arrange your students' desks? We must know! ;)
I love clusters. I'm able to just call on a group to go to a particular center, and there are partners always available for partner work.
