In attendance: Ledezma Gonzalez Kaiser Hensley Hayes Grimes

How are interventions? Kaiser has a very large group. Hayes stated how excited her kids were to be in Kaiser's class because they loved the worksheet today. Hensley isn't seeing any change in her kids yet. They are sounding out the words correctly, but are not able to blend them together correctly yet. Hayes group is good. They are making progress and I am very proud! Bi lingual groups are good.

We will assess on Friday, October 7. Each teacher is responsible for creating their own assessment for their group.

Strategies: Hayes is googling activities for primetime. She has found a lot of things on phonemes. Kaiser is using TPRI activities, and poems. Grimes is using words their way for sorts, and reading A to Z. Good stuff for blends. Grimes suggested sound boxes for phonemes. She is going to get with Hayes and share what she has. Hayes is also going to check with title 1 for the book called words their way. it has sound boxes in the back. Grimes also has a book of just poems for digraphs that she will share with Kaiser.

Grimes showed us the phonics kits in the closet and explained what each had in it. Hayes took one pad of the take home book from the set to make books with.

Love and Logic chapter 4 Gonzalez liked the divide and conquer part. Needs principal's approval to implement. Sort most cooperative students to least cooperative students. If students need a cool off room, they can go to another teacher's room. If they do not want to leave, then send out your most cooperative first, and so on so that they do not have an audience.

Next week-bring what assessments we want to use. love and logic chapter 5.
