Teacher+concerns+for+Unit+5+implementation

One reoccurring issue that has presenting itself at many of our schools is the use of space. Many of our classes are bursting with students and desks. With limited space, movement is a challenge.

Suggestion - I don't have my students "move" too much around the room. For most of the activities in the unit I have students participate from the area just behind their desks, their personal space. This limits transition time between activities and decreases the likelyhood of any conflicts between students. I'm sure this is not ideal, but given our limited space it's an option... I also like using the sitting statues as an alternative to full out statues for some of the other statue and/or movement activities. Samantha (Ellington) 10/31/12
