 *  Grade 5 is being asked to try and not completely book up the 1:50 time block due to the fact grades 1 & 3 like that end of the day time. Note: with Book Clubs and Grade 5 rotations in effect this means that we will need to give up either a Writing or Math block when we want Jeff to come in to co-teach with us.
 * Reflections on Intro to Book Clubs
 * Karen opened and recorded our observations and reflections regarding book clubs on Atlas as we discussed them. There was talk about the current norms and it was agreed that if a student shows up to a book club then they have been cleared by their homeroom teacher to attend that day. Hmrm teacher will deal with consequences IF any.

 * Discussion and Decisions:**
 * Tech booking for Nov. Team ideas
 * Shelfari
 * Jeff is suggesting that not all teachers [especially new to the grade level] are ready to tackle something like this. Just getting up and running on student blogs is a good goal for them.
 * Web Typing Program
 * Can be introduced in a short 15 min. session
 * Tessellations tessellationactivity2009.doc
 * Indiv -also book Jeff for projects you are doing in class
 *  Since we are no longer do the same lessons Jeff will need to meet individually with all 8 teachers to schedule for each need.

 * Curriculum/Assessment Points: Book clubs are morphing to a less structured model and we are developing lessons that will support the kids knowing how to 1) conduct themselves 2) share in an effective manner 3) articulate themselves, in writing, so that the teacher has evidence for assessment.**


 * Action Items and Person Responsible: Jeff to work individually to schedule each classroom's tech push in time. Loralee and Karen have both supplied documents and URLs for tessellations.**
