#prompt10 We have lots of new students. I always have assigned seats projected on a PowerPoint on the first day. Coming into a class where many know one another, a new kid can be feel lonely. Assigning seats levels the playing field. After that first day, I randomly group and explain that randomly grouping ensures all students meet one another and get to learn from each other. I have seats arranged in groups of 3. I randomly group a week at a time rather than daily. #classroommath #belonging
