This meeting was led by Ms. Farthing.

We discussed whether we could do our CFA before the holidays; Ms. Pate stated that she was going to, and so is Ms. Muzzy, due to the schedule of the units they are teaching and concerns about keeping the assessments relevant and valid.
We planned treats for the week of 12/13. We are teaming with 2nd grade and custodial staff to bring food on 12/15. We are going to do breakfast stuff & Ms. Muzzy will coordinate.
Music program: Ms. Farthing needs our help. She is going to check with Ms. Morning to make arrangements - maybe K-1 assistants? Maybe all of us? can assist Ms. McKenzie suggested taking part of the students who are not participating to the computer lab to work in Smart Tutor.
The music program (12/15 @ 6 pm) will be about 30 minutes. There will also be an all-school sing-along on Fri., 12/17. Ms. Farthing doesn't have more info at this time.
The specialists are going to request that we get more information about assemblies: when they are going to be happening as well as whether we are expected to take kids, supervise, pick up, drop off etc. We also would like to suggest to PBIS (?) that there be a standard procedure as far as when to go to the assembly: general announcement? phone call to room? set time? because it's been a bit confusing.
We also are going to request more info about when teachers have planning and other meetings that require a sub/assistant to cover their class, because it upsets the routine and the kids need more time to settle into our classes, and we'd like to be prepared.

Know of any needy students? Send names to Ms. Travis, Ms. Morning, or Ms. Krafft to pass on to Santa's helpers. They are going to ask Piney Grove & Mt. Tabor Church to do an Angel Tree.
Ms. Morning reviewed our data analysis and found it to be comparable to what goes on in the rest of the school. She expressed that admininistration will start sharing Blue Diamond data with us to help us see weaknesses in reading that we can help with. She gave us specific suggestions for each of our areas; i.e., Mr. Burkehad finding videos about famous athletes, etc., Ms. McKenzie helping students explore digital resources (Ms. McKenzie - add ESPN for kids? history channel, etc. to student resources?).
We discussed plans for our next CFA, which will be completed by the end of the quarter.
Specialists expressed concerns about time management - i.e., teachers being timely in dropping off and picking up their classes. We were informed that for 3rd grade, we may need to walk the classes down to lunch.
Ms. Verde from Little People's University is retiring and wants to come and volunteer, so she will be working in the cafeteria.
