 * Bussing is working ok
 * Kathy Richardson: Counting Objects
 * Having a hard time fitting in except Jody is done with the test.
 * Sandi said she had 4 centers going in class then started testing: Building Blocks, Mystery Boxes, Compare, Compare Dots. Have Courtney monitoring centers while she tests. Continuing on through Math Investigations.
 * Jody started the Counting 20 assessment for Math Investigations (Session 2.6)
 * Carrie had trouble with Building Blocks freezing, dump and start over
 * Katie asked when do we steer them toward making groups when counting? Sandi: one of her students brought it up. It's okay to say you saw someone putting them into groups and show. Jody said she has a place value frame and they write how many tens and how many ones.
 * Kia has one kid who has no number sense. She guesses at everything. She doesn't recognize numbers at all. Sandi asked what her goals are for math. See Laura and see if they can make work basket for her or find out what her goals are on her IEP and try to work toward them.
 * Jenny, Jane Shelbourn, and Kate Haswell sat down and aligned Kathy Richardson with each Math unit. Will you share this with the team? When she finds it, LOL she will share with team.
 * Objectives are too specific
 * According to chapter 8 we should have less specific objectives and let kids come up with their own specific assessments.
 * Bring up at Book Study to see what we are supposed to do.
 * Chris brought in LAP
 * Have students parents sign tonight. If parents have questions, see Mrs. Fox. ||
