 * Topics/ Meeting Outcomes: To check in; it's been awhile.

Twain is having a Bedtime Stories Event and they are having several authors attend the event. Jen will e-mail the list that is great for selecting authors for school visits.

We completed the CTAG assessment together (curriculum section) ...** We found: It is difficult work to bring all teacher along when we bring new staff members on, teach new practices and hope for "Well-established" outcomes for/by our teachers as we rate our staff on the CTAG.

Cindy shared a brick laying analogy as she helped enlighten her staff on why stand alone curriculum units such as punctuation doesn't serve a purpose when done in isolation.

Matt Glover: If we cannot find it in our Mentor Texts it probably isn't the best purpose for our writing... ie 5 paragraph pieces.
