*Casey shared first part of Interactive Read Aloud Resource-should we all start with the Genre section of interactive read alouds since we haven't done pre-assessments. All 3rd grade members will be attending the Grounds for Thought on IRAs (except for Katie & Christy who took it last year)
*Math & ELA assessments should be completed between Oct. 1-5 (includes DRAs), assessments are then scored _____? and then SLOs are developed based on assessment scores. There is some confusion on dates, as it states that pre-assessments are scored on 11/11 (a Sunday) but goal meetings are on 11/1. The team has emailed Tracie about this. **Tracie returned email and said she thought it's 10/11/12. Will we be given time off to score? How does this work?
*Everyone on the team will be starting DRAs the week of September 24th.
*Group discussed questions related to contract that did not pass.
*Open House is October 10th. Grade level ideas-Wordle with words from classmates about each student, student heads (all will do this), HOM careers-a picture of each student holding what they want to be when they grow up and then choosing a HOM that they will focus on this year to help them choose a goal for the year. Deb said that we can make a Grade 3 collage outside of the library. This will part of our scavenger hunt. *Let staff know that we will be using the space outside of the library until Oct. 11. *Slideshow of class pictures can be on the Smart Board.
*Everyone has started reviewing HOM with their classes. We have done 2-6 lessons each so far. Joe shared a fun idea about creating, imagining, innovating to hand out a blank piece of paper to each student to create something from within 12 minutes. Most have started daily reflections in the journal. Deb L. is starting to pull together HOM books to help us teach each one (based on Casey's list she shared with us last week).
Next Meeting is in Kelly's Room!
