Sharing & Student reflection

Thanks to everyone for attending our last Numeracy leaders meeting at WPS.  We shared some great resources to use for student reflection and Dave was willingly volunteered to put together this blog post.  Thanks Dave for contributing and sharing this with us.

Hi everyone,

After searching high and low for the original email/file i was unable to locate the sharing cards.

The main use for the cards was to prompt individual students when it was their turn for sharing. Other teachers have certain students sharing every day, but i prefer to roam and give a student a card based on what i observe. I believe that sharing doesn't always have to happen at the end of a lesson. I often gather kids around a students table to listen to their strategy. As we all know students need to hear what their peers are saying as well as their teacher.

Some sharing/reflection cards i've used to great effect are:

Today I discovered.......
Today I explored...........
Today for the first time.............
I want to know more about...............
I feel good about.............
I am concerned about..............
I helped my group.....................

I will continue my search for the originals... i promise

While Dave continues to hunt for his reflection cards, here is a link to the cards Matt showed to keep you entertained! Click HERE to go the Dropbox file (or check your dropbox folder if you've installed it).  Well done to all those who have installed dropbox and joined our shared folder!  Remember if you have any questions or problems, just email Matt.

So how do your students share/ reflect on their work?  Leave a comment below on what works or doesn't for you.
