Entry #1

For my room arrangement the students will be sitting in groups of four to six people, also known as "The Wagon Wheel." I think this arrangement would be best for my art classroom because there would be many walkways and spaces to transport art and supplies easiest. Working in groups like this will also enhance the creativity of each student. When students are exposed to other ideas, it tends to get the creative mind flowing so they come up with new ideas. I would change their seating spots numerous times throughout the semester so they can frequently see new and fresh ideas. 

That being said, I will be walking around to every table consistently to check up on everyone's work, so the green zone will be very small. When I am on one side of the room, I will be sure to keep my eyes on the other side of the room and make eye contact with the students that are distracted. If a student is goofing off during demonstrations or lectures, I will take a few steps toward them and take a second for eye contact until they are paying attention once again.
