After the Holiday Break all students were given a new Critical Friend. I decided to pair students of different abilities. I placed high students with low-average students and low kids with high-average students. After two weeks of observation I have not noticed a significant difference in the way the students share their goals, execute their goals, and check back in.
Here are some of the goals students have been sharing:
Low Student- Read to someone, read to self, and word work to get better at my writing.
Average Student- My goal is to read to somebody to get better at reading so when I see the words I can know them right away.
High Student- Do all the Daily 5s to get better at reading, writing and spelling.
I like the way that you switched it up to gain another perspective, it is always helpful to look thorugh more than one lens. Have students been able to reach the goals that they have set? Do you play a part in any of the goal setting or is it all with thier CF?
