HOM Journal was created by Casey and shared with the team. There is a list of books that go with each Habit of Mind. Casey emailed this to the team. We are asking Deb L. to pull some books to support our team. Many people introduced the journal to the kids today. Kids will choose 3 at the end of each day that they are most proud of using and check that off. Joe is having the kids include a written response to two questions related to HOM.

*Start with Nutrition unit-exploring the food groups-Need DROP in resources to Village-->3rd Grade-->Science  and use choosemyplate.gov

        *Book Logs were recreated from the resource, Teaching Reading in Small Groups.  We are going to have the kids track their reading the week of DRA assessments (last week of Sept/first week of Oct).  The logs should be used to help us better understand the reading patterns and habits of students. We will then share out successes/challenges with the book logs at a mid-October meeting. 

*Interactive Read Alouds will begin mid-September (first unit is Activating Prior Knowledge) which is when we will implement the Complex Text unit on Lightening. All teachers will do this except for Kelly, as she is going to take the session on Interactive Read Alouds being offered in October by Tracie.
