Student placement in the room is one of the great tools that teachers have to manage the class and to help students build relationships. Also, I'm with you. It was always the only hope in hell I had of learning names before Thanksgiving.
Back in the years when we had a long vacationless stretch between New Years and Easter, I would have two weeks of a new seating chart every day. It's the little things that keep life interesting.
I hold the same belief. If a child is struggling in a spot, I move them. I often keep initial seating the same but students will move about and work with different groups. There is a comfort in knowing a spot is yours.

Haha, I can just imagine my students groaning at this. How did it turn out for your students? Every single day? For two weeks?
