teaching and screeching

I need to retthink some things in my classroom. I am trying to keep the status quo until thanksgiving break, though. I feel that coming back after 4 days off will be a good time to change seating, the class schedule, etc. Right now I am thinking of how to redo silent reading time. Maybe it needs to be at the end of class? hrm. I am scratching silent reading for today. It is friday--i want to get further in the novels. Ok---time for me to get back to grading.
