I tracked the movements of my students over one day in the art room. In some ways it was a busy day in terms of the number of students in my room since it happened to fall on the meeting day of both art honor societies. In others it was rather slow since both my 7th Grade and Art Foundations classes were discussing new concepts and looking at information on my smart board rather than moving around the room. It is interesting that I probably could have predicted the seats for some of my classes. None of these students have a seating chart, but most have a favorite seat anyway. Some classes also prefer one side of my room to the other. My classroom is what was originally two rooms with the wall cut away in between which makes it a very awkward space to do teacher directed instruction, but it is a great space for TAB. It does not surprise me that the most traffic is in the gap between both sides. I also forgot about many groups at the beginning of the day, including my advisory students and the art honor society kids. I also had to add a category for students who came down to work or hang out during their study hall. Overall, there wasn't much new information, but it is cool to see it in a visual way.
