Table Captains
I didn't always do this when I first started teaching , but when I started it, it was wonderful. I have "Table Captains". They are the kiddos who are in charge of getting markers, crayons, paper, etc for their table (community property). If there are table games, the captains get to start first. Having table captains really made less chaos in the classroom for me and the table partners. The table captains had the job for a month.(Each month I change tables and seats with the kiddos) The kids loved being the captain. (Believe me they never let me forget to change captains.)Everyone has a chance to be a table captain. Once everyone in the class has had the opportunity, we would roll dice for the highest or lowest number and that would be the captain of the month. I started to keep track in my record book at this point, to make sure everything and everyone was even.
If you haven't already, try out table captains for your tables or student groupings, you will love it!
