3:00	10 min	Check in and Celebrations Kindergarten: Had their writing celebration. Every child read their book and the students that were listening were a great audience. 5th Grade: Excited to have completed their narrative unit. 4th Grade: Completed their first unit.
3:10	10 min	Any Observations? Observation in Adams/Stewart: S were writing a lot and showed a lot of improvement from kindergarten. Michelle Observation: Great lesson in 4th grade. Observation in Megan’s room in K: Neat to see the progress they have made in writer’s workshop. Turn in talk was a great way for all of the students to participate. Observation in April’s room: The routine seemed very familiar to the kids.
3:20	30 min	Debrief from Lisa’s Workshop PD What went well? Glad to see the mini lesson as well as conferences. It was helpful to see a mini lesson and then talk to Lisa afterwards. Useful to see the expectations for 6th grade writing. Nice to see t That we can make the mini lesson our own. 6th grade will adjust the language to be grade level appropriate. Students are more interested in writing. What do you still need? Upper grades would like to see the conferring piece of workshop. Time to confer with writers. Wanted to see assessments. Videos on conferring and/or mini-lessons followed by a discussion What are you going to implement? It was helpful to see Lisa confer with students and review the structure. Observe teachers who are a few lesson ahead of you to help prepare for the lesson. Use the writing samples to level your student’s writing and find goals for your students. Complement conference
3:50	10 min	Share out with the whole group
4:00	10 min	Next Meeting? Continue to observe mini-lessons for other grades Focus on conferring (?) Marsha, I went rogue (!) and asked about spending some time conferring. A good idea surfaced and we’d like to discuss it in the next literacy chair meeting. Javonne
		What would you be interested in learning about? Assessment On demand prompts Schedules/time management Let’s be done with it Students seemed more interested with free writing What should we show parents? Difficult to take grades What grade does each scaled score equal?
