 * NF unit || **R**
 * D** || What questions do we have about the unit?

Sheena made Nonfiction Assessments last year Fountas and Pinell in bookworm has NF assessment (running record analysis)

Questions Paul - many kids of NF texts (cookbook, discussion, reports…) What grammar?

Mary - NF is informational texts (not procedural, not biography)

Suggestion to change title of unit to Reading NF Informational Texts

Jamie suggests using Anita Archer for good NF lessons

How much writing is used to track their reading? Towards the beginning - use mentor texts, post-it places where you learned something about your topic. Towards the end - Choose a topic and record what you are learning


 * Remember, the mini lessons included are a sample and as always, teachers respond to needs of students

Possible Changes Phase 2: Swap lessons 5 and 8 Phase 3: Swap lessons 5 and 6

Mary says that we need to be formally assessing our students' guided reading levels 4 times a year. DRA addresses beginning and end of year. But we should be assessing once between DRAs (which are in mid-Sept. and mid-March) and once at the end of the school year. This is something that ISB may be moving toward. The Fountas and Pinell NF Informational Text may be a good option.

Discussion on reading level and whether students are able to read Q books in NF are also able to read Q books in Fiction. || Mary 30min || Meet to discuss and decide how and when to grade for Algebra ||  || Algebra on Report card || Decide who goes when || Kristen someone ||
