IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

This week in both Reader’s Workshop and Math Workshop, we have introduced partners.  There is a lot of power behind having partners as you work.  It encourages conversation, collaboration, and questioning.  The kids have really enjoyed working with partners.  We asked them today why it was important and here are a few of their answers:

“You are reading together and you can hear other people reading so they can help you.  If you were alone you couldn’t do that.” ~Andrew

“It is important because that’s how you make a new friend.  Friends help them sound it out.” ~Carriea

“They are important because you don’t have to raise your hand and wait.  You don’t have to wait or nothin’.  Your partner can help you.” ~Tylisha

“Your partner is a different reader so they can help you!” ~William
