Here is a tool I use in my classroom to "randomly" partner my students up for activities. I love giving students the opportunity to choose their own partners but there are always a few who just can't work together well but insist on doing it anyway. I also pass out cards and find the match to find their partner from time to time. But sometimes you need a quick way to ensure that your students are paired up academically or according to behavior. Soooo.... I created the partner wheel. My nice laminated ones are still at school, so you will have to do with this one straight out of the printer and use your imagination.

So, Writing Groups was born: Because I have learned that I am the type of teacher who loves small groups over whole-group, I decided to give it a go with this year's class, especially since it is 2/3 boys and I typically lost my boys the most during Writer's Workshop time. I decided first on the four groups I wanted to incorporate to help my students not just become better writers, but to get excited about purposeful writing again. Here's the general structure of my Writing Groups: As you can see, there are four different "groups" that my kids go to and they visit each twice a week.
