Our Room is Buzzing!

“What is buzzing?” you may ask.  Buzzing is when students are talking about what they are learning and reading.  We started buzzing for the first time today.  Students are placed with 1-2 Buzz partners.  After our daily Read to Self time, students buzz with their partners about their reading. 

Here are the rules we came up with for buzzing effectively:

1. All members of your group can see ach other

2. Talk in your group quietly

3. One person should talk at a time

4. Good listeners look at the person who is speaking

5. Group members do not interrupt each other

6. Members need to listen to the person speaking to understand what they are saying

7. When the speaker is finished talking, each member shares their thoughts or questions.

8. The next member takes a turn.

Students are now buzzing about what they are reading.  You can try buzzing at  home too!
