The strategy that I will talk about is Think/Pair/Share. Think pair share is a great strategy for younger students. it allows each child a chance to talk and it really allows them a chance to learn from their peers. There are many times when you are asking a question and everybody in your classroom wants to share something, I use this then. Instead of allowing each child a chance to talk one a time it allows them all a chance to talk about what is being asked. The students really enjoy this because it gives the students a chance to be the teacher. There are many times when a child does not know what is going on and what is being asked, so the other person in the pair can teach them about the subject. I find that my students do really well learning from other and they seem to grasp more that way.
