I. Grade Level discussed current interventions for writing. Progress is going "so-so". Students are still struggling with writing complete sentences, and the team expressed that this is an ongoing skill that will be practiced in the classroom. Reviewed the goal of students being able to write 5-7 sentences on a topic chosen by the teacher. The goal will be assessed on Nov. 3rd and 4th during primetime. Hamilton will create a grading rubric.

II. Current changes during interventions: M. Jackson and Lee/Cabness will be moving to 5th grade. K. Schultz, Y. Saenz, and Sanchez will be added to 4th grade primetime. Discussed possibly allowing these teachers to come into the classrooms with the teachers. 9 people for 4th grade primetime that begins Nov. 2nd.

III. Examined and reviewed data for the gradelevel. Identified the gradelevels current weakness as math and writing. CBA Data: Reading- 75% Math- 63% The team discussed reasons the math was so low. The team expressed moving back into math or integrating math with the writing interventions. The team will try integrating math with writing interventions during primetime: Monday, Wednesday, Friday- devoted to writing only Tuesday and Thursday- devoted to math (2 digit by 2 digit multiplication; computation and word problems) Teachers will implement some type of computation only type of informal assessment for their students in the classroom.
