Understanding = U Informing = I Recommending = R Deciding=D || R D || Discuss the possibility of an independent writing project to finish the year. Independent writing project could meet the needs of boys or students who have not had the chance to write in genres they are interested in. Question- Do we still do a 2 week poetry unit? Concern over writing a personal narrative as the G4 writing assessment as students have not written in this genre since the beginning of the year. A memoir could still be relevant as a way to lead into the G4 assessment to review narrative writing. Possibility for next year- use a persuasive writing piece as the G4 writing assessment as it'd be more relevant || 10 minute discussion, followed by decision. || Mary 15 min || D I || See where we all are with regard to math units. Decision on how we will handle the next six weeks of lessons Troy will talk to us about next year's plan at May 13 Meeting Grade 5 teachers are happy for us to get to whatever point we get to.
