How does your class solve the problem of only three people at a station?

www.timelessteacherstuff.com




  • Discussing strategies with and alongside the children
  • Some children are learning powerful negotiation strategies to get what they want rather than just screaming and demanding
  • we talk about how its important to wait our turn
  • No children are allowed to stand at the board and wait for a space
  • Lots of checking in done by the students
  • Only putting out equipment for three people has been helpful 


While this strategy might sound annoying it provides a place for observation of children's behaviours when they don't get their own way, don't understand turn taking, develop naturally a way to negotiate in a powerful way. Great as a writing motivator!!
