Solutions…Anyone???
Over the past couple weeks we have seen that overcrowded
classroom is in fact an issue. We have also looked at how it is illegal, yet
still remains an issue in most if not all 50 states. Lastly, we looked at what
some of the effects of an overcrowded classroom are. We get it, it’s a problem
but like every math teacher would say “where there is a problem there is a
solution”! So just what are some of the solutions for an overcrowded classroom?
Ideally our country would give our schools more money, so that we could hire
more teachers, and build more schools. Maybe some of our celebrities, or football
players would donate money to the schools (Brad& Angelina please it’s for
the kids). Unfortunately, since that is as likely to happen as my chances of winning
the lotto, here are two of my suggested solutions.
· Organization
Yes, organization is not only good for knowing where everything
is. With more students comes less room; so we must organize every inch of our
room to get the most out of it. If you’re going to have stations consider
plastic bins. Load each bin with a variety of options (games, worksheets, etc.)
so that your stations don’t have to be changed every day.
Assigned seats
I know what you’re thinking; I get a new student everyday how
can I possibly keep up with seating charts. Don’t this is a great chance to
assign roles in the classroom. As a whole decide where everyone will sit in the
beginning. Afterwards have a seat chart officer. It will be there job to rotate
students every few weeks. If there is an issue with the seating they can write
a ticket, and have the student get a warning at first. If it remains an issue
they get their final ticket automatic transfer to a new table. Be creative you
have 25+ students utilize them…you’re a community work together!
