Wow I'm so amazed. What a tiny little thing I learned about from A Teeny Tiny Teacher!!! I had no idea it could be this easy...table captains is my new favorite term! Please read about it here...she talks about having a person who is in "charge" of the table.
Now I tell them that they are not ever in charge of anyone else of course, I'm the one in charge! Any ways, this captain is the person who passes out papers and straightens desks, things like that. I used it today after like a 2 second spiel about their job and who it was and they got it, like super fast! I'm planning on changing the position once a week like I do for line leaders.
It was super easy to say "Table captains, come get your papers" and the other students went straight to their desks. That's it! No one stopped to talk, no one asked questions! SO SIMPLE! Have I mentioned I love this? THANK YOU KRISTIN!!!
Here is my simple management tip: assign seats for everything! I have them for their centers, my small reading groups, every where! No more, "He took my seat!"
