How to Use the Seating Chart
Label the Page
Fill in your name, the class or period, the room and the date before you add any students.
Match the Desks to Your Room
Check that the front of the page is the front of your room, then count the desks you really have.
Write a Name at Each Desk
Pencil the names in first, so you can move a student after a week without starting over.
Record the Reasons
In the Notes box, write who sits up front, who needs space and who works well next to whom.
Leave a Copy for Subs
Print one for your sub folder, and one for each class period if you teach more than one.
