One of the uses of Give Me Fives is to give the class a reminder. This reminder could be to remember to get your science-fair backboard approved, or to put the computers in the cart a certain way. The main reason we use this type of Give Me Five is because reminders are one of the things student-led classrooms rely on. Instead of everyone asking everyone around them, asking the teacher or doing it wrong this Give Me Five allows the student who knows what to do remind everyone how to do it correctly or what to do. Also if you were to do this Give Me Five I don't suggest saying "Because a lot of people are doing it wrong." Even if it is true it could make someone a little upset because they were the last person you corrected. I also advise not saying that at the end of your Give Me Five for two other reasons. One, because it would make the Give Me Five longer and sometimes kids are working really well and then have to give you their full attention for however long your Give Me Five is; that can eventually get annoying. And two, it could come off a little bossy like,"I'm perfect and everyone else made this mistake."
This Give Me Five is important because without it people might forget common things or just not do things correctly, or would do them not as nice. It is also important because we need it to be student-led. We can't be student-led if the teacher is telling us everything and doing it too.
