Pre-planning will be a time to reconnect with friends and colleagues as well as build new relationships. The
challenge for all of us is to nd balance between task accomplishment and relationship building. The

Communicate
If we dont invite and
include different ways of
viewing problems and
situations (and people with
an open-minded approach
to new ideas and
perspectives), we stifle
diverse thought (read:
creativity and innovation). #

Notes:
Learning specialists and Specials teachers should determine who will attend
each session with the understanding that each teacher will attend multiple
sessions to both share and gain information about students.
5th/6th Math and Science teachers attend the appropriate grade levels.
Good questions also
force students to
articulate their thinking so
that it is understandable
to another human; this
articulation, in and of
itself, is often a catalyst to
learning.

Making is a way of

It can be very easy and
enjoyable to teach to
students, because we are
conveying a sense of
wonder and delight over
the unique and descriptive
words authors add to their
writing.

If we can begin to consider that the primary purpose of
the portfolio is to provide a vehicle for each child to
grow metacognitively and to demonstrate competence
in telling the story of learning, the door is open for the
child to assume ownership.
