Students as Teachers

Recently, Ms. Aven invited me into her classroom to watch the students teach each other about pronouns. It was a lot of fun to watch as the students ran a type of game/review on the subject. Different students had different subjects, but all got a taste of being the expert in the room and sharing that knowledge with the rest of the class. It was a great learning experience for them.
