Today was our first day using a seating chart. I told/asked the kids about this yesterday and told them that I had been considering it for sometime now and that I was committed to sitting down and completing one. And I have to tell you... in the first 3 minutes of class I noticed a difference. Whoohoo! This is a pseudo-action research project for me... so things make continue to shift around, but as of right now, things seem pretty settled and the seats seem to be working.
