Reflect on the standards and evaluate grade level commitments from our previous meeting (5-10 min.)
What is working well?
The foldables in conjunction with the liberty kids videos worked very well in understanding the
battles of the American Revolution. This also helped the students note taking skills. The debates
are going very well; student engagement is at an all-time high. It is also creating interests in topics
that they would not typically see with the curriculum. This has enhanced our listening and speaking
skills by creating meaningful discussions. In math, the students did very well with in and out boxes.
What are we struggling with?
Students are still having problems identifying and understanding the difference between a
protagonist and antagonist. They are also still having problems with adding and subtracting
fractions and multiplying decimals, but we are addressing these in math workstations.
that allow individual instruction based on students abilities. In writing, we are working toward the 30
minute time limit.
How will we know when they have achieved proficiency? (Determine Assessment)
We will determine proficiency using rubrics, formative assessments such as exit tickets, and summative
assessments such as chapter tests. We will also now be using data notebooks.
What will we do when they dont get it? (Re-teaching and Intervention)
In math, we revisit skills that students continue to struggle with in morning openers and workstations when
we get them started. We also have set intervention time each day at 12:15 where we can revisit and work
on skills. Mini-lessons and small groups are used for reading. For writing, we use have individual
conferences.
