Out with the old...

As I work hard cleaning out my classroom I am considering how I want to approach grouping my students next year. Should I use lab groups?  level students so there's a high two middles and a low? Should I group by personality meaning like minded people at the same table or really mix it up and put one personality type of the four at each table? Food for thought... I have the large, black lab tables... So I am stuck with 4-somes. Any thoughts or ideas let me know. Best practices??

  1. I am also going to be using tables of four. I do not have any idea of how I am going to group at this time. Maybe I will use a variety of methods and change things up at certain intervals. We can maybe discuss further ideas.

  2. I like the idea of grouping them with different personalities at each table. It is good exposure for them, getting to know and work with lots of different types of people. And you can always switch the groups up every quarter or unit or whatever you like. :)
