Start Time: 7:44AM Reminder: Be ON TIME for PLC meetings. Updated SMART Goal: 85% of our students will successfully pass a common assessment of the targeted TEKS. The assessment will be given on Monday, April 9, 2012.

Each teacher will create an Exit ticket for all students based on the targeted TEKS.

Tiger Time small groups: Monday: Vocabulary Tuesday: Manipultatives Wednesday: More manipulatives, students using process TEKS. No paper/pencil (independent work) until at least Thursday (per Lincheck). Thursday: Students model, maybe work with a partner in small group. Friday: Independent work, all students in Tiger Time complete Exit ticket.

TPRI Results: -It is affecting their reading and writing scores. Step up Word Study lessons. We will NOT go back to traditional spelling tests - research has shown that it is unsuccessful. -Use words from the story (sometimes in front of back of book) for word work during GR. See Intervention Guide in TPRI kit for Phonics lessons. Billingual concerns about not getting enough time for Spanish Word Study. -They are doing English and Spanish Word Study.
 * Students are not progressing in Phonics.
 * Students need to be building words in small groups during Guided Reading.
 * Use Word Sorts in Literacy Stations.
