__ **Our Reflections:** __ **How will what you saw and heard today impact your work going forward?**

**The importance of a rubric. It is a really important piece. Developing rubrics.** **How does a Reader's notebook look like in first grade? The ideas shared are interesting ways to keep track of the student learning. This will also document the learning.** **The power of meeting with the grade level. We tried.... Let's use the wiki to work together and not re-create the wheel.** **The process and the learning along the way is the focus. The data that you collect through the process.** **Just getting together as a group is energizing! We can all take away bits and pieces to enhance our classroom.** **Authentic and Meaningful. It's taking the child from they are developmentally....it is powerful!** **Just knowing that you will take turns along the way. Free and flexible. Supporting student needs.** **"Deep and Wide"** **How are we going to connect all these standards so they make sense for the children?** **182 indicators in just ONE subject area** **Essential Questions...how can we use these when we have so many** **Can we continue moving with Workshop Model, Big Ideas, and Essential Questions?** **We need time and support to dive deeper into what we are already doing.** **Some of us would like a "book study" time to meld all this together.** **We need time! Can we look at first grade standards and write essential questions for the year?** **Animal studies are taught in all elementary grades. Do we need to look at this?** **The Workshop model is a structure and framework for us to use. Could we go through this book again?** **There is power in allowing each building to make the decisions to meet the needs of the teachers.** **Tremont - We are doing a study/book study on "Morning Meeting" - Building Community** **We want time to upload our resources to the wiki.**
