Number order is their seat #. I think you can see best how I table the seats and line students up on the numbers in this video How to Line Up Students th-cam.com/video/PM-HQCZ9C6I/w-d-xo.html
Lunch is duty free in theory but with my planning being first thing I’m going to be forced to eat fast and use the time to reset for the afternoon- sigh.😔
Well Mrs. Katie, As far as seating charts I would say focus more on student safety versus "breaking up the cliques". Would you rather sit a student next to another student who does not get along together and worry about breaking up a fight or sit a student next to another student whom they are friends with and do get along with and worry about stopping chatter? More than anything, the risk of distraction is determined by whether the lesson you are teaching gets student interest/buy in or not. The Golden Paintbrush Award could turn into something that the classroom teacher might do with the students like say if they get so many compliments and fill up some sort of a compliment chart it could turn into an incentive for the students in their classroom from their teacher. The name of the game is classroom/specialist teacher support and student buy in. It's always good to recognize positive behavior. Enjoy summer beautiful. - Dwight

Does number order correlate to last names, table seat, numbers, or? 🙏🏻

I really hope I misunderstood and your lunch is NOT considered part of that hour planning time each day. 🤔
