Agenda:

• next year - calendar dates meetings, PD times, did Mondays work for meetings? (Tuesdays not good-hard to get coverage)
• summer math plans
• K- units 1 and 2. better alignment, improved homework opportunities and improved assessing opportunities.
• Grade 1 - look at units 1-3, alignment, looking ahead
• Grade 2 - smooth transition from grade 1 to 2.  Think through changes to 75 minute blocks, do less but deeper, vocabulary, q-r codes for alternate homeworks, illustrative math, include ten frames/twenty frames
• Grade 3 - rewrite pre- and post-assessments. Units 1 and 2. 
• end of year data. Data throughout the year? 
• beginning of year - will have spreadsheets from EOY, do we need to do baseline? Would a midyear and EOY be enough. 
• does everyone do pre- and post for every unit.  Does post give enough info for RTI info?
• manipulatives - year end order. I'm ordering journals.
• PD planning - what is your gut for each unit, given limited PD time.
• Do we need to commit to flex groups? Or would you like to be responsive. Kathleen's time?
• RTI interventions - what do you think would work?
• k and 3 want morning time

• What do we want to commit to Flexing next year?
