We met in Casey's room today. Christy shard updates from scheduling committee. We all agree that we need more common planning time and consistent schedules. Shared the idea of 1 hour for lunch and sharing recess responsibilities. 
Progress monitoring- we all gave the noun, verb, adjective pre-assessment and discussed how many words fit in more than one category. We are going to use the same one for the post assessment. Some of us created word study words and had them categorize into noun, verb & adjectives for this week. 
Next meeting-in Christy & Katie's-Christmas celebration & context clues.
