Getting Started

It is August 1st and by waking up this morning, we realized it's time to get in the zone! Bracing ourselves for August to zip on by and have our classes ready to embark on their Fourth Grade adventure, made us have extra cups of coffee this morning. In this post, our team will share Summer Team Meeting Notes which include:
1) Planning our literacy blocks-incorporating the CAFE workshop model.
 2) Ways to design our day to be most conducive to a workshop model geared toward creating independent thinkers and doers in the classroom.--using the resource: That Workshop Book.
3) Using Thematic Umbrella Questions to have the students connect Big Ideas under our cross-curricular needs.
