* Miss Loudermilk is hired to teach fifth grade and sets up her classroom accordingly. She finds out at the last minute that, because of fluctuating enrollment numbers, she is actually going to be teaching first-graders. Fortunately, the room to which she is assigned is not changing; she does not have to pack up all her stuff and move. She knows she'll have to change materials, books, and wall displays. With regard to her room arrangement, what advice would you give her?

Question

a. "Don't spend too much time moving things around - you've already spent a ton of time on this. When the kids get here, you can move things around to make them work smoothly."
b. "You're going to have to start completely from scratch! First grade and fifth grade are so different that your entire room is going to have to be changed around."
c. "This might be a good time to re-evaluate your room arrangement. I bet some things can stay where they are, but you may need to reconsider the furniture and its placement."
d. "I'd tell the kids that you're going to treat them like big kids, and that you're going to see how well they do impersonating fifth-graders!"

Answer 1

Ans: c. "This might be a good time to re-evaluate your room arrangement. I bet some things can stay where they are, but you may need to reconsider the furniture and its placement."
