Team Notes and discussions: Gayle Cady, Pat Eddie, Deb Waln, Vicki Klein, Andrew Haines, Sarah Manning, Chelsea Wilson, Tess Canet Roles: Facilitator – Deb Time keeper - Sarah Taskmaster – Pat Process observer – Vicki Recorder - Tess 1) Review roles and norms with group. 2) Fastt Math issues were discussed - Do we have to move them up or does the program move them up? How do We know they are making progress? We need to take some time to really explore the Fastt Math program and the settings to see what we need to do with it? How can we make updating student profiles/tasks without taking so much time? What are the realistic goals for using this program – how many times per week for students. 3) Common Assessments: a. What do we mean by common assessment? Let’s use the exact same assessment so that we can see which instructional strategies are more helpful to our students and we will collectively decide how to score them. We need to get the literacy assessments completed by the end of next week so that we are able to give them by the end of the unit.  b. In looking at the prompts  i. Sarah – nouns  ii. Deb – verbs  iii. Vicki – pronouns  iv. Tess - adjectives and adverbs  v. ALL – will bring something for the contractions September 21, 2010 – this has to be discussed on that day so we need to make time for this discussion.  c. Discussion of the phonemic awareness and the sight word probes took place. Manipulation and segmentation are common concern areas for all 4 rooms.  4) Sharing of goals to wrap up the session.
 * Linking Future:**
