A.L.Lotts Elementary School  __Classroom Demographics__: There are 25 Students in Mrs. Tarantino's class; 13 boys and 12 girls. The students desks are grouped by ability level. There are four groups of six desks pushed together to make tables. There is one group that has an extra student desk pushed against the end. This makes instruction much more effective. Mrs. Tarantino can address an entire table rather than just one student at a time. Students move around the school during the day because they switch classes for Math, Science, and Social Studies. This is also done by abililty level. It works like a charm! media type="custom" key="11458766"
