Title: How to Arrange a Classroom Component 5 Organizing Physical Space Grade Level: 4th-8th Group Size: whole classroom Source of Idea: Sadlers, K. (2009, August 30). //How to arrange a classroom//. Retrieved from http://suite101.com/article/how-to-arrange-a-classroom-a143729


 * __Explanation of Idea __**: This idea is to ensure the safety and how well the students and I will learn. I would arrange my classroom is that the students desks are free from distractions, such as windows or doors. My desk would be in the back, this reason would be so there are no obstructions blocking the board for all the students. I would arrange the students desks into two columns ( number of rows will differ based on number of students). Two desks will be side by side, each week the students will sit with someone new. The row on the right will move back a seat, and the row on the left will move up a seat. The students will just keep moving each week until the end of the school year, but once students start to repeat new seats will be assigned. This gives all the students a chance to work with different students each week. The trash can, pencil sharpener, and anything else that is used a lot will be kept in an area that can be free of congestion. I will be able to see all students at all times from any angle of the classroom.

__**Visual: **__
 * __Assessment Tool __**: The flow of the classroom with be smooth. No congestion or traffic jams will occur in the classroom. Students will get a chance to work with new partners each week. This will give me the opportunity to get to know all my students comfortably in my classroom.
