Discussed visual phonics and how to make it more interactive. How can we continue to use it being student lead? Right now, we feel we are catching up. We need to make it their wall by putting items below it in which they can add a word, put their name on the back and paste them up for review.
The intervention kit and how it is working within our groups: Success and problems. Some of us discovered there are 10 beginning lessons and we are discussing whether or not it would benefit our kids to start there or to accommodate and supplement where we currently are. We are definitely seeing progress and teacher progress with using it.
Talked about metacognition and how we are using it within our separate rooms and what stages we are at and pacing. We shared the metacognition lesson and resource with the staff because of its wonderful success!
Goal for next meeting: Model the graphic organizer for our groups for Metacognition.
Jobs for next meeting: Facilitator: Sue, Timekeeper: Jamie, Blogger: Tara, Karol: off. Next time we will decide who will do the jobs for continuation of this year.
