How Period 1…2…and 3 went for me today….
New quarter? New seating chart.
Students began to grumble.
I said they could stay in their current seat or move to anywhere that they wanted.
The excitement exploded, a Hydro Flask clinked against the ground, backpacks shuffled, binders were tossed, girls giggled, and boys high-fived.
I warned them that they were making a choice that could ultimately affect their grade but I was giving them the freedom as juniors in high school to choose their own seating adventure.
Heads nodded.
I began to give instructions.
Talking commenced.
Repeat for periods 2 and 3.
Think of this video when you see me in the halls since this is now my life in the mornings…
