 * __ Date & Time __**

** Today's Purpose: ** * Ms. Waln *Volunteer for dunk tank at Field day * Revisit math goals * Discuss language rubric *KR Hiding Assessment - how do move kids along on learning their combinations to 10. *New Roles

**Notes:** **Ms. Waln** - write down questions we may have for the principal interviews and give them to her. She needs to give them to Deb Lucas


 * Volunteer Dunk Tank - ** Jody Burger

**Math Goals -** based on KR, are we expecting to much? According to KR, Typically kids only get to the apply level for parts of 6. They then can get to P for parts up to 10. Children in first grade need to work with models, therefore, counters. We shouldn't worry about the without counters part of the test until 2nd grade. However, still ask what if questions from time to time. Change our goal from parts of ten, to parts of 6-7 as per Kathy Richardson's advice. *By May, 2011, 80% of the North Elementary First grade students will meet the A (apply) level finding the parts to seven with counters as measured by the Kathy Richardson Hiding Assessment. **Language Math Goal -** Should we change our language goal to just write a complete sentence? An example could be, "Sandi has 9 goldfish." Do we focus on the answer or the strategy? Some wanted the answer, others the strategy. Chris showed us an example of a 3rd grade response. What part do we want first graders to be able to do? Oral language comes first. Focus on labeling first then have them explain it orally. Modeling is important! Model, model, model! Model how to label your work and then how to get up and orally explain the thinking involved in the problem. We are looking for automaticity.

**Math -** Sandi showed us the game Build a Floor from KR. Use dice the first time to get your bottom number of cubes.

Other: Phonics: WS4, WS7- contractions

**Future Session -** bring samples of student work and look at the labeling Questions for principal interview - submit and give to Deb Waln
