Class Project begins

Well we are off and running with our class project. The students have been paired off with a partner and have already begun assisting each other. The students are sooo excited about this idea of PAWS. We did a writing activity today with the pairs and you would not believe the improvement already from just checking with their partner. They were encouraging one another and sounding words our together. I was impressed to see such great helpers today!! :)

Class Project

Title: PAWS (Partner Accountability with Students)

My students and I are excited about being able to start our class project. My students love the idea of helping each other. My students will be paired off into pairs. Each pair will have daily time to discuss concepts and assist when needed each day. I will meet with the pairs on Fridays to make sure that things are going according to plan. I will keep updating my blog as we go along and share some great things that are going on in my classroom. Stay tuned for the first response once we get started on Monday, September 14th. :)
