Team+meeting+9-23

Thanks for sharing Julie!

I would like to discuss the reading books (Julie shared). I am interested in using them to __supplement__ what I may be doing in my classroom but I am not interested in a prescriptive program (like EDM) I want to have flexibility and book choice. I like to use the comprehension toolkit throughout the year and those books look like they would be good. I feel they offer a lot for our science and social studies programs. We may only need one other set so we can share. I have no problem sharing materials as I would not be using the books everyday. It is important to me that my students are all reading where they are and moving forward. Some of my students would struggle with the material while others would need more.

If we are looking for consistency, we have our power standards to guide us. Food for thought! Let's discuss.

We need to look at the SAU 16 Essential Skills that were handed out on Tuesday at the Staff meeting. (Kathy) Can we just go over the NECAP practice test and how you will use it? What do I need to tell kids about being prepared for the test? I'm gearing up to do biomes. Can we talk about resources and which biomes? 

I am looking into the Star Gazing Astronomy program and possibly having them come out on Oct. 29th. (this was an open date for them) I am waiting to hear from them.
