We are all finishing up with Baseline Assessments and beginning to administer the Phonemic Awareness Assessment. Bonnie scheduled the Ells Conference room for October 12th to take the Children’s Progress (ERB’s) and a practice date of October 3rd. We cannot use Patti’s Room for testing because of poor wireless service. Bonnie will touch base with Bev to make sure everything is set to go for both days

We went through the SK Curriculum Overview and made a few more changes. Bonnie will update it and email it to everyone. We agreed to include HomeLinks Book 1 in our BTSN Folders. Bonnie will update the note that goes with it and email that to everyone as well. We each rehearsed our parts and made suggestions to each other about what to include and what to leave out. We came up with a list of the following things we want to talk about when the parents come back to our rooms: Introduce Room Parent Special Person Day/Special Helper Literacy and Math Centers Phone Calls Snack Show & Share/Family Traditions Questions
 * BTSN: **

Sue is in the process of making changes to the chaperone notes and will email them to us. We decided to change one of the research questions that the students complete during the field trip. Bonnie will make the change and then email it to everyone to run off. They will need to be cut in half to fit the small clipboards.
 * Butterfly Field Trip ** :

Bonnie just approved the updated artwork for our T-Shirts and they will be delivered on Friday. She will pass them out as soon as they come in.
 * T-Shirts: **

Please let Sherry know who your subs are as soon as possible. Judy has Linda Olson lined up except for the Oct. 12th date. Sue is still looking.
 * Curriculum Writing ** :

We all agreed to do a scrapbook page for Homecoming even though we are not doing the Fun Run. Sue is taking her class to the football field on Friday to get in the spirit. Bonnie may take her class as well. Reminder that Willie the Wildcat is coming at 11:30 tomorrow during recess. Also, Jessica Michels will be there to take the yearbook picture with Willie.
 * Homecoming: **

We are all having trouble with the laminate and wonder if the thicker laminate might work better. Even though it’s more expensive we wouldn’t have to redo so many items because what we are using now is so thin. Bonnie will ask Kathy if we could try the heavier stuff and see if it works better.
