My seating arrangement: 

- My desk: At the upper left corner of the room. My desk is where I do my preparation and is rarely used throughout the day.

- Tables: There are seven tables in a U shape. This is so that everyone has access to seeing the information displayed on the Promethean Board.

- Additional Tables: There are two additional tables. One is located on the bottom left by the Promethean Board and the other is located on the upper right. These tables are areas where students can work if they need some time away from other students.

- Classroom carpet: This is in the center of our classroom and is where all of the students sit during instruction time. Having them closer to the Promethean Board helps them stay more engaged. 

- Small group kidney table: This is located at the bottom right and is where I teach ELD and small groups. There is a whiteboard behind the kidney table that is to be used during small group time.

- Calm down carpet: This is the small rectangle carpet near the kidney table and is used by students when they need some time and space to calm down.
