Student Reflection & Sharing: "Student reflection is important because it leads to better problem solving and indepth learning. It allows other students to respond to a student’s work, whichincreases the learning for all. In regards to your schedule there should be a reflection/sharing at the end of work station time. Gather the students for a class meeting and c hoose one question for student reflection; the question chosen depends on your students needs. Possibilities include:
 * What did I do today?
 * How did I solve a problem?
 * How did I help someone else solve a problem?
 * What did I do to help myself become a better reader/writer/mathematician?
 * What did I find easy/difficult?
 * What do I like about your partner's work?
 * What strategies did I use to complete my project/work?

Reflection and sharing should also occur when there is a problem that needs immediate attention. It is appropriate to walk over to individual students or call a mini-class meeting to identify the problem and have students offer possible solutions."
