If at all possible, have carpet squares for younger children so that they may sit on the floor during story and sharing time. Your classroom should be well lighted and ventilated and should be clean and orderly. Use your bulletin boards as interactive teaching tools. Display students' work and their vocabulary words. Also, you may display class-created learning tools, photographs, maps, and timelines.
Young children find it hard to sit still for extended periods of time.
Therefore, their classroom needs to be managed flexibly. They need breaks for activities and games. Until you get to know your students, have them take assigned seating, alternating girls with boys. This approach forestalls possible discipline problems, separates buddies, and allows new friendships to develop and experiences to occur. Change the seating arrangement every so often.
