One of the ways I keep my classroom running smoothly is by the help of my “Table Captains.” I have 4 tables in my classroom, and they are organized by color; red, green, blue, and yellow. Each table has 4 or 5 students. At the beginning of every week, one student is named the “Table Captain” for the entire week. This picture shows how I organize the rotation of the students. I turn the top of the star to the child who comes next. I will describe below how I made the Star Spinners. The Table Captain is the student at each table who is in charge of getting and putting away any materials or manipulatives that are needed for their table during a lesson
