Assign Seating - At the beginning of the year, some teachers assign each student to a spot and code that spot with an icon or a name so students know where to sit. Like a seating chart, it helps students go to their spot each time. Assigning spots helps students be successful by making sure that you do not have students who are potentially disruptive sitting by one another. It also makes transitions quicker because students will not have to figure out where to sit, and there will not be any arguing about the "best spot."
Students may also have their own carpet square and learn the rule to keep al body parts inside their square. Masking rape can create a checkerboard on a larger carpet for a similar structure.
Be sure to place near you those students who have trouble sitting still.
If some students have great difficulty sitting still, try having them sit slightly away from other students so that their movement is not distracting. Make sure these students are not all placed next to each other for it may lead to more distracting behavior.
