If they are not already turned toward their partner, then they will turn their desks so that they can face them. The purpose of this strategy is so that the students will have someone to share their ideas with and to hear others opinions. One way that I could use this strategy with my first grade students could be during story time where they are having to make predictions as to what will happen next. They could have their own ideas, then converse with their partner to come up with the best idea together.

Students will be given different parts to put together as a finished product. I could incorporate this strategy into my first grade classroom during a Math lesson over measuring. I will assign students into groups of four. The assignment will be to measure an object with 4 different measuring techniques. Each student will be responsible for one measuring technique so that they can finish the assignment as a whole group, and everyone will participate.

It can be very difficult for this age group to stay focused for 7 hours of the day while sitting at a desk. So in order to keep their attention and allow them to be kids, there needs to be some fun and movement included within the daily curriculum. This strategy can be incorporated while studying for spelling words. The students will use different exercises and movements while spelling their words aloud as a group. This will help with their wiggles and promote cooperation as well.

At this age, it is important to teach these children that being different is beautiful. This will encourage cooperation and collaboration no matter the diversity. I can incorporate this strategy during an art project. I will have the students choose a color of paint that they like to use for their hand prints. We will then put hand prints on a sheet of paper to create a tree of hands. I will create a tree out of just green hand prints prior to this assignment. And we will have a vote to see which tree the students prefer.

The students will go around their team and discuss solutions or answers for the problem. This strategy is a great way to let everyone be heard and to hear diverse solutions. I could use this strategy during a reading lesson. While reading a story, I could tell the problem of the story and have the students come up with ideas of how they could solve the problem. This will allow the students the opportunity to work together, but also to share their ideas as well.

This strategy will group students with others who have similar interest, and can open up doors for new friendships. Especially at this age, it can be hard for children to open up and make friends because they are either shy or are not sure how to make a friend. But if they have something in common and are able to talk about that, then this will open up a conversation and possibly a friendship. I can use this strategy during a science lesson. I can give the students choices as to which animal they would like to learn a little more about. I will have a couple of different choices of animals we will be discussing in class, and I will let them choose. Once everyone has chosen, I will group them together according to the animal they choose. And then the groups will talk about the different topics they want to discuss on these animals.

Students are grouped according to how they behave with others. This will allow those children who often get distracted to have the peace and quiet that they need in order to get their work done. I could use this strategy with really any of my assignments that require the students to work independently and quietly.

This allows students the freedom of choice, but they are still accomplishing their work for the day. Of course there would have to be a limited number of students that could be in each group. This would work great when I have stations or centers for free learning, like on Fridays. I could have different educational stations on Fridays that are fun for the students but allows them freedom to choose as well. Of course they will have to rotate so that everyone has the chance to try each station.
