Made word changes on a few of the Standards for grade 4
 * Discussion and Decisions:**
 * Discussed Social Studies Standards for grade 4 because Pudong felt some of the standards were not relavant - Steve will return changes to Alicia Lewis for her review.
 * Discussed Social Studies Standards for grade 5 - no changes were made
 * Risk Takers reflection: Good book choices, students on task, students engaged in conversation, guided groups from ESOL teachers, students were placed in books of their choice thanks to Dena and Karen. Continue to look for new books that fit into Risk Takers. Discussed Book Club packet - Students are grouped according to reading level. Low group needed more attention so it was difficult to give attention to other groups- difficult to assess high groups when focusing on the low group the majority of the time. Liked that Book Clubs were held on "odd" days - six sessions were enough for some.
 * Beyonda the Box - students create a toy and jingle to present to a judge/panel: Noreen and Michelle will prepare for Beyonda the Box.
 * X-Max party - send out the secret Santa letter on the 10th of of December. Party on the 17th - cookies/hot chocolate.
 * CookBook - Dena will work on the cover
 * 10th of December MS Language Assembly - head out to the MS around 2pm as assembly begins at 2:15. Dismiss from the MS
