Here's the update for last night:
1. Elizabeth read her minutes from JANUARY 28!
2. Stacy read minutes.
3. We had a thorough discussion of assessment, and we came up with more questions than answers. See my blog post, and make sure you understand the difference between formative and summative assessment.
4. We experienced a think aloud with a poem. This could be used with any kind of prose as well. I suggested to Jessica that you might want to create a worksheet with the text on the left and lines on the right.
5. We discussed in-class lessons. These are mini-lessons. I recommend pulling a lesson from the reading. I also recommended readwritethink.org. Each person will need to meet with me the week before your lesson. See syllabus.
6. I-search is due Monday, February 25-Friday, February 29. Ask the class to explain on Monday.
7. If you have any questions, let me know.
8. Please watch "What it feels like to be a teacher." And then watch "What Teachers Make" (be aware of some bad language). Can't wait to hear what you think, and I'd like for you to make some connections to your own teaching.

That was great. Maybe we can have it on during open house!
The videos, that is. It's so nice to have the I-Search finished, but it was a lot of fun.
