5. Collecting papers/MaterialsPassing out materials: Right now my classroom is set up in rows because its the only way to fit enough desks =). When I pass out materials, I give the correct amount to the person on the end and students take one and pass it down. We practice this the first week so students do it efficiently and don't play "keep away." (Oh middle schoolers!) Collecting materials: Students pass everything to the end of the row and the last person turns all papers into the basket or returns supplies to their appropriate spot. * When I make my seating charts, I try to put students with movement break accommodations at the end of the row so they can get up frequently while still being helpful =). These ideas may seem like common sense or really small, but you would be amazed by how much time they save in transitions.
