I don't know if there really is an easy way. I also make seating charts for
all of my classes, though I don't need as many as you do. I have round
tables in one area for the primary students and a computer lab for the
older students. However, once the Kindergarten classes begin centers, I
don't rely on the seating charts as much. I am terrible with remembering
names, but the nice thing about being the only librarian is that, aside
from the new Kindergarten classes and transfers, I already know all of the
kids, which makes seating charts easier.
Even though it takes a lot of time and effort in the beginning, I find that
the payoff is worth it.
