No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
Awesome
all
right
lindsay!
You
want
to
just
go
to
these.
Everybody
can
see.
Everybody
got
our
slideshow
yeah
beautiful
awesome.
So
a
quick
agenda
for
tonight
is
our
welcome
and
introductions
and
in
a
minute
I'll,
just
kind
of
introduce
myself
a
little
bit
and
lindsay
can
do
the
same
for
herself.
Then
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
beginning
of
the
year
and
we're
kind
of
getting
past
the
beginning
we're
starting
to
get
into
the
real
meat
of
the
year,
which
is
amazing.
A
It's
happened
really
fast,
but
we'll
talk
about
what
we've
been
doing
and
some
things
you
have
to
expect
in
third
grade
wrap
up
with
questions
and
actually
we'll
probably
do
the
virtual
visit
before
we
do
the
questions
so
that
you
can
be
thinking
about
anything
you
might
see
in
the
in
the
we
video
that
you
might
want
to
ask
questions
about.
A
And
I'll
start
by
introducing
myself,
I'm
betsy
patrick
I've
been
teaching.
This
is
my
38th
year
at
champlain.
Actually,
I've
taught
kindergarten
first.
Second,
third
and
fourth,
I
guess
honestly,
third
is
my
favorite
grade.
I've
been
here
for
for
a
while
up
in
this
classroom,
really
love
to
fill
my
room
with
plants
and
living
things
and
working
with
those
15
living
things
that
walk
into
my
classroom
every
morning.
So
thank
you
for
all.
You
do
to
help
my
job
and
make
my
job
as
enjoyable
and
wonderful
as
it
is.
B
And
I'm
lindsey
zagfinger,
I
have
been
teaching
for
around
15
years.
I've
taught
all
over
I've
taught
in
california,
colorado,
spain.
Now
I'm.
This
is
my
fourth
year
here
at
champlain.
I
taught
for
a
few
years
over
at
edmonds
as
well.
B
I
am
really
happy
to
be
back
full
time
in
the
classroom.
It's
really
nice
to
see
everyone
and
yeah
I'm
looking
forward
to
a
great
year
and
let
me
go
to
the
next
slide.
There
we
go.
B
All
right,
so
this
is
sort
of
the
beginning
how
we
have
gotten
started
with
our
school
year.
Sorry,
my
lights
are
motion
sensors,
so
they're.
Turning
on
and
off
on
me,
so
we
got
started
this
year
with
a
lot
of
community
building
and
we
have
done
a
lot
of
things
like
both
classrooms
have
created
a
class
pledge.
What
we
want
our
classroom
to
feel
like
and
look
like.
We've
been
all
working
on
our
hopes
and
dreams,
which
is
goal
setting
for
a
third
grade
year.
B
Every
day
we
do
morning
meetings
where
the
kids
get
to
share
about
things
that
are
happening
in
their
lives
and
and
how
they're
doing
we
also
made
both
classes
made
these
I'm
terrific
stars
where
they
got
to
kind
of
show
off
what
they
were
really
good
at
and
we've
also
been
doing
some.
We
call
them
community
circles,
they're
part
of
the
restorative
practices
that
we
have
been
working
on
here
at
champlain
well
and
district-wide,
and
we
also
have
been
getting
a
lot
of
champ
cards.
B
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
miss
patrick
about
your
class,
but
my
class
is
rocking
the
champ
cards
this
year.
So
it's
been
really
nice.
The
kids
have
been
really
loving
the
positive
attention
and
you
know
feeling
good
about
themselves,
which
has
been
really
nice.
A
A
Our
daily
schedule-
this
is
just
a
quick
snapshot
with
no
times
because
lindsay-
and
I
are
pretty
well
in
sync,
but
it
modifies
any
day
of
the
week.
Every
morning
we've
got
scheduled
in
that
morning
meeting
so
that
come
in
sit
down
and
circle.
A
That
really
gives
us
a
focus,
that's
kind
of
a
small
chunk
of
time
that
word
study
we're
working
for
like
20
25
minutes,
often
independently
after
we
deliver
the
the
lesson
around
the
spelling
strategy
that
we're
working
on
during
the
week,
then
we'll
have
snack
go
outside
and
stretch
our
legs.
We
do
have
two
recesses
a
day.
We
both
think
it's
really
important
for
for
these
third
grade
kiddos
to
get
out
and
move
their
bodies,
giving
them
a
more
a
better
opportunity
to
really
focus
in
the
classroom
which
we
find
really
works.
A
Well,
that
being
said,
unless
it's
below
zero,
we
go
out
so
just
you
know
be
aware
of
that.
As
far
as
like
clothing
and
being
warm
and
boots
and
all
of
that
later
on
this
year
and
then
we
come
in,
we
have
a
literacy
block.
It
might
be
writing.
A
It
could
be
a
special
reading
group
sometime
for
really
some
special
needs
work
with
kids
that
want
to
either
be
extended
or
help
with
any
other
kind
of
strategy
groups,
and
then
we
have
math
in
the
morning
before
we
have
lunch,
and
then
we
have
a
quiet
time
after
lunch,
which
is
also
a
time
that
well
they
have
lunch
and
then
they
have
recess
and
so
they'll
come
in
and
we
have
a
few
minutes
of
quiet
time
which
they
all
really
enjoy.
A
And
in
the
afternoon
we
have
readers
workshops,
social
studies,
activities,
science
activities
and
our
special.
We
have
a
real
real
busy
day.
It's
it's
difficult,
sometimes
to
fit
it
all
in,
but
your
kids
are
really
kind
of
settling
into
the
routines
and
making
it
easier
for
us
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
to
get
everything
in.
B
B
It's
the
eureka,
math
sort
of
the
online
component,
which
we
do
occasionally
in
class,
is
zern
and
they
have
so
it's
a
nice
way
for
us
to
sort
of
review
a
lesson
if
a
lesson
was
challenging
for
them
or
give
kiddos
a
chance
to
do
some
extension
things.
B
It
really
starts
to
build
some
of
that
really
strong
number
sense
and
helps
support
their
problem.
Solving
as
well.
We
have
there
are
about
five.
We
call
them
modules
they're,
like
units
that
we
get
through
for
the
year.
The
first
one
is
properties
of
multiplication
and
division.
B
That
one
only
goes,
I
believe
it's
just
like:
division
by
threes,
fours
sixes,
it's
sort
of
those
smaller
numbers
multiplication
and
division
and
they
actually
entered.
We
actually
introduced
multiplication
and
division
at
the
same
time,
so
that
they
can
sort
of
see
that
those
are
inverse
or
opposite.
B
Math,
I
guess
sorry
lost
the
word
for
it,
then
our
second
module
we'll
kind
of
go
back
again
to
sorry.
B
I
think
that
keeps
happening
every
time,
I'm
in
the
middle
of
talking,
wait,
mine's
going
to
and
the
second
module
we
kind
of
go
back
and
do
some
more
addition
and
subtraction
it's
very
similar
to
what
they
did
in
second
grade
with
three
digit
addition
and
subtraction.
B
And
volume
do
some
time
in
that
one
too,
so
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
kind
of
crammed
into
the
second
module.
Along
with
that
addition
and
subtraction
review
from
last
year,
module
three.
We
go
back
again
into
multiplication
and
division
and
then
adding
in
those
higher
numbers
six
through
nine
and
zero
things
like
that.
So
that's
sort
of
a
it's
a
nice
way
to
go
back
and
review
everything
they
learned
in
the
first
module
while
making
it
a
little
bit
more
challenging
with
some
more
challenging
numbers,
there's
also
module.
B
Four
is
multiplication
and
area
which
takes
what
they
learned
about
that
multiplication
and
they
start
looking
at
the
area
models
and
using
manipulatives
to
measure
things
and
stuff
like
that,
and
then
our
last
one
is
our
introduction
to
fractions,
which
they'll
see
a
lot
of
in
fourth
grade
throughout
all
this,
and
I
know
betsy.
Does
this
too?
We
have
lots
of
extension
activities
for
the
kids
too
and
review
activities,
so
there
are
different
games
that
we
play
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff
they
work
in
partners
and
groups.
A
And
you
can
see
from
what
lindsay,
which
is
saying
about
the
different
modules.
Multiplication
and
fractions
are
really
two
of
the
heavy
heavy
concepts
that
we
are
working
just
make
sure
that
our
third
graders
come
out
with
a
really
solid
foundation
for
when
they
move
to
fourth
grade,
and
they
get
into
some
really
more
sophisticated
thinking
about
both
of
those.
B
Yeah-
and
that
makes
me
think
too,
if
you're
looking
for
something
to
do
at
home,
a
great
thing
for
them
to
do
is
some
skip
counting,
which
really
helps
them,
learn
their
multiplication
facts.
So
you
know
counting
by
3s,
3,
6,
9,
12,
15
18,
and
that
kind
of
thing,
when
you're
sitting
around
in
the
board
in
the
car
or
something
like
that
challenge
them
see.
If
they
can,
they
can
do
some
skip
counting
you're
in
bigger
numbers.
Each
time.
A
And
sorting
and
grouping
making
that
transition
to
multiple
to
division
from
multiplication,
just
knowing
how
to
take
a
whole
number
and
segment
it
into
equal
groups,
is
also
something
that's
going
to
be
really
helpful.
C
Have
a
quick
question:
hi
this
is
cassie,
I'm
maggie
russo's,
mom,
clearly
and
sorry
for
eating.
During
this
season
you
mentioned
using
eureka
math.
I
think
the
way
that
math
is
taught
is
so
different
than
the
way
we
we
learned
it
when
we
were
younger
is
there?
Is
that,
like
an
open
platform
that
we
could
go
or
are
there
even
just
those
tips
like
around
skip,
counting
and
so
breaking
down
numbers?
B
Definitely
is,
and
I
will
send
home,
I'm
gonna
send
home
a
whole
packet
of
stuff
after
this.
That
has
a
lot
of
that
information
in
it
as
well
and
betsy.
Did
you
send
that
home
already?
I.
A
Think
I
did
send
it
there's
a
like
a
parent
tip
sheet
that
goes
along
with
each
unit.
I
mean
it's
only
like
a
one-pager
front
and
back,
but
there's
a
lot
in
there
around
the
concepts
concepts
taught
and
some
ways
that
parents
can
support
that
thinking.
A
Literacy,
there's
a
lot
going
on
with
our
literacy
as
well.
We've
spent
the
first
month
or
so
really
getting
to
know
your
kids
as
readers.
What
they're
reading
thank
you
for
sending
books
in
from
home
so
that
we
could
see
what
they're
reading
we've
been
conferencing
with
them
meeting
in
small
groups?
A
They
are
going
to
be
doing
some
read
a
lot
of
writing
about
their
reading,
which
we're
getting
into
really
soon
lindsay,
and
I
both
have
had
cons
conversations
about
this
year
wanting
to
really
write
a
lot,
and
we
already,
I
think,
are
ahead
of
the
game
this
year,
which
is
which
is
awesome
in
third
grade.
A
We
start
doing
some
thinking
outside
of
the
text,
inferencing,
synthesis
analysis
and-
and
things
like
that,
which
is
a
little
bit
more
sophisticated
thinking
that
they
may
have
been
asked
to
do
before
some,
a
battle
that
sometimes
we
need
to
to
work
with
with
kids.
Is
the
letter
grade
or
the
letter
of
the
level
that
they're
on
a
lot
of
what
we
do
is
the
r
the
writing
and
the
thinking
that
we
do
around
their
reading.
A
The
level
of
books
sometimes
has
no
bearing
on
where
well
it
has
no
bearing,
but
it
has
to
do
with
they.
What
we're
asking
them
to
do
is
at
a
more
sophisticated
level,
so
the
level
of
the
book
their
fluency
may
be
at
one
level,
but
the
thinking
that
we're
asking
them
to
do
would
be
at
a
different
level.
So
don't
be
surprised
if
your
kids
come
home
and
say,
but
I
was
reading
this
level
last
year,
but
mrs
patrick
is
asking
me
to
read
this
book
this
year.
A
Well,
it's
because
I'm
going
to
be
doing
some
different
things
with
it.
We're
going
to
be
writing
so
much
more
about
it.
We're
going
to
be
talking
about
it
in
a
different
way.
So
so
that's
what
reading
workshop
looks
like
for
writing.
We
focus
on
sentence,
structure
and
paragraphing,
we've
already
broken
into
and
almost
finished
a
four
paragraph
essay
using
a
painted
essay
model
which
you
may
have
heard
about
from
your
kids.
A
We
do
have
a
picture
of
of
what
the
scaffold
looks
like
when
you
look
at
the
at
the
slideshow,
but
they're
writing,
one
about
their
friend
they've
interviewed
a
friend
and
so
they're
writing
it
about
their
friend
and
making
a
comparison,
the
similarities
and
the
differences.
We
will
also
be
doing
some
argument.
Writing
narrating,
a
narrative,
some
report,
writing
and
that
will
be
just
kind
of
building
over
the
course
of
the
year.
A
Our
word
study
work.
We
did
some
initial
evaluations
and
assessments
and
your
kids
are
going
to
be
working
on
many
many
words
and
lindsay
knows
a
lot
about
this
program
as
well.
Is
that
we
all
work
at
the
same
on
the
same
strategy,
spelling
strategy,
but
the
words
may
be
at
different
levels
so
that
we
can
challenge
those
students
that
need
challenges
and
really
focus
in
on
where
they
need
to
be
to
become
better
spellers
for
themselves.
A
Some
of
the
units
that
we
work
on
is
would
be
building
a
reading
life
and
that's
more
of
what
we
do
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
and
then
do
some
non-fiction
work,
a
character
study.
We
use
because
of
winn-dixie
to
focus
like
our
our
text
that
we
use
to
learn
about
character,
and
then
we
will
use
what
we
learn
about
character
and
because
of
winn-dixie
to
look
at
characters
in
the
books
that
they're
reading
and
things
like
that.
A
So
we
do
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
making
connections
to
text,
to
our
lives,
to
the
world
and
writing
in
science.
We're
kind
of
writing
all
over
the
place
to
tell
you
the
truth.
So
when
it
when
I
say,
writing
and
literacy,
those
are
some
focuses,
but
we're
writing
in
science.
We're
writing
sometimes
during
math.
Even
so,
that's
that's
the
a
snapshot
of
what
we
do
for
literacy.
B
Yeah-
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
great
things
betsy
about
this-
our
third
grade
curriculum
is
a
lot
of
it
is
all
integrated
and
tied
together.
So
a
lot
of
our
reading
moves
into
our
writing
and
our
science
becomes
the
writing
and
the
reading
and
it's
it
starts
to
all
connect
for
them,
which
is
really
nice,
which
sort
of
goes
into
our
science
and
social
studies
units
again,
which
these
overlap
with
everything
and
some
of
them
kind
of
continue
the
whole
year.
B
A
lot
of
the
things
that
we
have
started
already
things
like
our
community
building.
We've
started
our
community
building
in
the
classroom
and
then
we're
going
to
work
into
talking
about
what
is
the
community
and
what
is
sort
of
our
school
community
and
then
we'll
begin
to
talk
about
maybe
our
neighborhoods
and
what
is
our?
B
What
is
a
community
made
up
of
and
what
are
the
different
parts
in
our
burlington
community
and
that
will
sort
of
continue
all
year
long
where
that
will
kind
of
pop
up
again
at
different
times
during
the
year,
especially
again
in
the
spring,
when
we
start
to
do
it's
a
call?
It's
a
unit
called
healthy
kids,
healthy
neighborhoods.
When
we'll
talk
about
how
you
know,
we
can
be
helpful
community
members
and
things
like
that,
and
maybe
do
some
mapping
of
our
school
and
the
neighborhood
we'll
also
start
starting
in
november
december.
B
We'll
start
up
we're
doing
some
earth
systems.
We
do
some
really
fun
sort
of
weather
activities
and
kids
learn
about
the
changing
weather
and
the
seasons
and
how
to
predict
the
weather.
That's
coming,
there's
some
fun
activities
that
we
do
starting
in
january
in
february,
is
one
of
our
really
big
third
grade
units.
It's
one
of
my
favorite
units
and
a
lot
of
kids
too
throughout
the
years
have
been
saying
it.
B
It's
our
bridges
unit,
which
is
engineering
and
design
where
the
kids
get
to
learn
all
about
bridges
and
bridges,
construction
and
engineering
and
strength
and
stability
and
yeah.
This
is
one
of
those
units.
It's
all
day,
all
bridges
all
day
for
for
many
weeks
and
ultimately,
they'll
design,
bridges
out
of
sort
of
popsicle
sticks
and
straws
and
index
cards
with
a
partner
and
then
they'll
get
to
test
them
and
last
year
I
think
we
did
a
virtual.
B
We,
or
did
we
record
them-
I
think
maybe
we
we
recorded
it
and
then
shared
out
a
video
and
then
march
and
april
we'll
go
back
into
our
healthy
kids,
healthy,
neighborhoods,
again
and
then
may
and
june
we're
starting
sort
of
a
it's
new.
For
me,
I
think
betsy
has
done
similar
units,
but
we're
going
to
be
doing
an
life
science.
B
Animal
study
unit
where
the
kids
are
going
to
get
to
choose
an
animal
and
research
it
and
to
you
know,
write
all
about
it
and
sort
of
put
all
the
skills
that
they've
been
learning
about
all
year
together
to
come
up
with
a
final
project
which
the
kids
last
year
were
really
excited
about.
So.
A
Yeah
and
sprinkled
through
there
might
be
different
spotlights
of
engineering
activities
just
to
get
us
thinking
about
well
engineering
before
we
get
to
bridges.
Also,
I
don't
remember
her
last
name
jen,
something
who
is
new
to
our
district
but
she's
connecting
with
the
garden
and
so
like
this
friday,
lindsay's
class
in
my
class
are
going
out
in
the
garden
to
work
with
her
and
so
any
any
week.
These
are
our
big
units,
but
if
an
opportunity
comes
up,
we
usually
grab
it
science,
social
studies,
anything
wise.
A
A
It
okay,
but
we
use
that
also
to
connect
to
current
events.
A
And
reading
nonfiction,
this
is
just
a
quick.
You
don't
need
to
read
this,
but
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
we
wanted
to
show
you
what
it
looked
like.
The
district
curriculum
map
is
something
that
you
can
go
look
at
in
detail
if
you
so
choose,
which
has
some
more
information
around
eureka
math
and
the
kind
of
the
big
ideas
for
the
different
grade
levels
here
at
champlain.
If
you
go
at
the
burlington
school
department
website,.
B
And
then
the
last
thing
is
that
we
are
doing
one-to-one
technology
this
year.
Every
third
grader
has
a
chromebook,
which
is
a
switch
from
last
year
with
the
ipads.
B
We
have
been
doing
some
focus
on
digital
citizenship,
so
how
to
be
an
online
citizen
and
this
sort
of
ties
in
with
our
the
idea
about
community
and
what
is
our
school
community
and
then,
who
then,
is
part
of
this
community
when
we're
online?
And
how
can
we
be
safe
and
respectful
when
we're
online
we're
using
the
chromebooks?
B
I
I'm
not
sure
we
use
them
every
day,
but
we
do
use
them
every
week
for
sure
doing
different
parts
of
the
curriculum
getting
a
chance
for
them
to
practice.
Some
of
the
different
online
things
and
online
platforms
that
we're
using
to
learn.
We
also
all
the
kiddos
so
far
have
learned
how
to
log
in
to
google
classroom
and
they
do
assignments
throughout
our
time.
So
far,
that
has
is
an
assignment
through
google
classroom
so
that,
just
in
case
knock
on
wood,
we
have
to
go
remote.
A
I
mean,
as
she
said,
don't
want
to
have
to
send
them
home,
but
also
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
all
ready
and
no,
they
know
what
to
do
if
they
needed
to
get
to
a
google
classroom
or
get
to
get
to
a
meeting
or
get
to
a
year.
Zern
lesson
or
something
like
that
independently.
We
just
want
them
to
if
they
had
to
slide
into
it.
They
could.
B
And
then
just
sort
of
before
we
we
wrap
up.
We
do
have
a
video
that
we
want
to
show
you,
but
we
do
suggest
for
third
graders,
that
they
be
doing
30
minutes
of
homework
and
I'm
sorry
not
of
homework
of
reading
for
homework
a
night.
So
the
more
you
can
get
them
reading
the
better.
If
you
can
get
them
reading
chapter
books
even
better,
but
we
recommend
30
minutes
a
night.
B
There
are,
I
haven't,
started
sending
it
home
yet,
but
I
will
after
this
I
wanted
to
make
sure
everyone
knew
what
was
coming.
There
will
be.
Some
word
study
lists
lists
of
what
the
kids
that
the
kids
are
practicing
in
school,
so
betsy
have
you
sent
those
home
already
yeah.
Those
have
already
started
going
home
and
they'll
be
going
home
soon
for
my
class.
So
if
you
wanted
to
help
them
practice
with
their
words
at
home,
you
could
do
that
as
well
and
then
sometimes
we
might
send
home
a
website.
B
B
Yeah
so
I
will
play
we
have
a
short
three
minute:
video
with
some
pictures
of
our
classrooms
and
things
like
that
and
then
we'll
have
some
time
for
questions
and
answers.
So
you
know,
let
us
know
if
you
have,
if
you
have
any
questions-
and
let
me
know
if
this
makes
a
lot
of
feedback
while
I'm
trying
to
play
it
here
too,
all
right,
let's
see.
A
B
A
A
Yeah
so
they'll
be
coming
home
soon,
but
they
were
a
really
fun
thing
to
do
together.
Some
kids,
I
know
mine
are
like
creating
creating
them.
It's
just
out
of
memory.
We
did
it
with
a
a
woman
who
it's
like
a
kid's
art
hub,
except
it's
not
it's
a
different
person
where
she
takes
them
step
by
step.
Through
this
process
it
was
really
fun.
D
B
It
is
the
class
read,
but
we
will
be
going
really
in
depth
much
more
in
depth
than
I
think
they
did
in
their
in
their
book
group.
Okay,
thanks.
A
That's
a
really
good
question
alicia
and
we
wish
we
had
an
awesome
typing
program,
but
we
don't
we.
We
do
have
one
that
we're
going
to
access
and
have
the
kids
start
using
lindsey,
and
I
talk
about
that
a
lot
and
if
anybody
out
there
has
heard
of
one
that
really
really
works.
Well,
we'd
love
to
hear
about
it
and
is
it
no
type
to
learn
was
the
old
one
which
do
you
remember
what
it's
called
typing
club.
I
think
piping
club.
A
So
we
we
are
going
to
get
them
started
on
typing
club,
again
kind
of
the
best
one
that
we
have
available
to
us
right
now
in
the
district,
and
if
anybody
knows
the
better
one,
let
us
know,
but
yeah
we're
going
to
get
started
with
that
as
well
and
typing
club
is
the
kind
of
thing
that,
if
that
is
one
that
they
like
to
use
just
as
lindsay,
and
I
both
have
or
she's
getting
them
started
on
extra
math,
which
is
just
like
a
it's
a
fluency
math
addition
subtraction
multiplication
thing
and
it's
timed
and
they
just
kind
of
do
it
for
15
minutes.
A
Some
kids
love
it
other
kids,
it's
just
too
stressful
and
those
are
the
kind
of
things
that,
if
the,
if
you
would
like
to
have
them
access
at
home,
they
could
because
it's
not
anything
like.
I
don't
care
if
they're
doing
fluency
practice
and
they
just
keep
going
beyond
where
I
am,
because
that's
really
what
it's
all
about
the
more
you
do
it,
the
better
you
get
so.
F
Heather
go
ahead.
Miss
ames
heads
the
typing
program
that
she
had
the
kids
use
in
fourth
and
fifth
grade
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
and
it's
really
really
good.
B
A
A
We
are
the
short
answer
is
yes
and
we've
already
started
getting
into
just
plain
handwriting
so
that
all
the
kids
are
are
getting
some
fine
motor
work
know
how
to
use
the
paper
it's
a
program.
It's
called
denelian
type.
Writing
so
that
they
get
started
with
the
angle
of
the
letters
and,
and
some
of
them
will
have
a
hook.
A
A
I
know
that
it's
like
it's
a
loaded
question
around.
If
you
ask
people
about
writing,
cursive
kids,
really
like
it,
they
are
really
highly
motivated,
most
most
kids,
not
all,
but
as
a
former
kindergarten
teacher,
also
developing
fine
motor
skills.
B
Yeah
and
it's
great
for
those
kiddos
who
need
the
handwriting
practice,
who
don't
want
to
go
back
and
be
doing
their
regular,
their
you
know
their
a's
that
they
did
in
kindergarten.
It
makes
them
feel
better
to
get
to
practice
it
with
cursive,
which
is
really
nice.
So
even
if
they
don't
remember
the
cursive,
they
get
that
that
motor
skill.
A
G
Sorry
I
was
just
saying
that
I
would
be
making
dinner
while
I'm
listening,
but
I'm
enjoying
everything
I'm
hearing
so
much.
It
just
sounds
like
a
great
experience
for
the
kids.
My
question
is
whether
it's
likely
that
you'll
be
doing
any
field
trips
this
year.
A
I've
been
fortunate
to
have
a
couple
friends
come
in
from
the
outside
to
to
do
some
special
activities
outside.
As
far
as
like
having
people
come
in
alicia
lily's
mom
came
in
and
did
an
activity,
and
I
have
a
connection
with
a
safe,
st
michael's
class
that
come
it's
only
four
times
they
have
a
class
and
they
come
in
and
work
with.
Small
groups
of
kids
on
science
concepts,
but
as
far
as
field
trips
and
going
anywhere
together
in
a
bus
is
not
happening
likely
this
year
I'll
be
surprised.
B
Yeah,
but
we
will
go
our
healthy
kids,
healthy
neighborhoods.
We
will
go
out
for
some
walking
field
trips
and
we'll
probably
do
some
trips
to
oak
ledge
to
do
some
fun.
Some
fun
things
there
that
kind
of
thing
get
get
out
as
as
much
as
we
can.
I
think
we
have
next
week
we're
doing
some
seedling
planting
out
out
back
things
like
that.
There
are
some
people
coming
to
us
still,
which
is.
A
Nice
and
we
talked
about
taking
a
walk
to
the
new
mural
by
the
artist
that
did
the
mural
at
champlain
and
talk
about
since
we've
been
focusing
on
similarities
and
differences
by
interviewing
our
friends,
taking
a
look
at
our
mural
and
then
walking
to
that
mural
and
having
that
same
kind
of
conversation.
But
we
want
to
make
sure
we
make
a
plan
on
a
day
where
it's
not
too
yucky.
C
I
did
that
so
I
could
leave
like
a
bad
review
at
a
restaurant
one
time
without
people
knowing
who
I
was.
I
have
two
quick
questions.
One
is
around
graphic
novels
versus
chapter
books
and
kind
of
some
sorry.
Wait.
Trust.
C
C
So
I'm
just
like
I'm
hearing
you
know,
I
I'm
sure,
like
other
kids,
have
a
kid
who
loves
graphic
novels
and
is
like:
oh,
we
only
get
to
do
it
one
day
a
week
and
so
I'd
love
to
hear
thinking
about
that
and
what
we
can
encourage
at
home
and
then
the
other
question
I
had
was
around
just
curious
how
lunch
is
going
in
the
classrooms
and
like
are
you
taking
lunch
outside?
When
you
can?
C
I
know
some
classes
are,
and
other
classes
might
not
be
and
would
just
love
to
hear
about
how
that's
working
out
and
what
the
plans
might
be
for
the
winter.
Thanks.
B
Yeah,
so
I
can
just
graphic
novels,
I
I
definitely
think
they
have
their
place
and
the
kids
love
to
read
them,
which
is
great.
I
I
don't
want
to
discourage
them
from
reading
them,
but
I
also
want
them
in
the
classroom
to
be
having
some
of
that.
Those
deeper
comprehension
experiences,
so
the
ability
to
really
learn
in
depth
about
a
character.
You
know,
for
example,
is
what
we're
doing
with
our
character,
studies
or
or
really
you
know,
hear
some
of
that
bigger
vocabulary
and
that
more
figurative
language
that
comes
in
with
chapter
books.
B
A
You
said
it
well,
but
also
because
lindsay-
and
I
know
how
highly
motivated
they
are
to
read
them,
giving
them
an
opportunity
once
a
week
during
reading
workshop
plus
we
do
have
that
quiet
time
every
day.
So
knowing
that
on
those
quiet
time
days,
they
can
read,
you
know
their
graphic
novels
that
whole
it's
not
a
long
time,
but
it
gives
them
that
opportunity
yeah.
It
really
has
been
flooded
with
different
graphic
novels
and
some
of
them.
A
The
other
thing
that's
really
kind
of
difficult
is
we
are
talking
about
mostly
eight-year-olds
right
now,
some
of
those
graphic
novels,
I
mean
I'll,
be
watching
them
reading
one,
and
I
can
tell
it's
like
whatever
that
humor
is
maybe
doesn't
have
a
place
in
my
classroom,
not
sure
you
know
so
it's
tricky
it's
tricky,
because
that
is
definitely
highly
motivating.
A
As
far
as
lunch
goes,
we
haven't
been
going
out
that
much
we've
only
got
a
limited
amount
of
time
and
we
try
to
get
out
because
we
both
go
outside
for
two
recesses
having
lunch
in
the
classroom.
Actually,
I
didn't
think
it
was
something
I
was
going
to
love
so
much,
and
I
kind
of
advocated
for
doing
it
again
this
year,
rather
than
the
gym
anyway.
A
Kids
are
settled,
they're
focused
they
have
such
a
routine.
It's
not
a
such
a
big
space
lindsay
and
I
both
let
the
leader
choose
a
book
flex
which
is
kind
of
an
animated
storybook
time
where
they
can
just
pick
a
book.
They
watch
they
listen
and
they
eat.
It
gets
cleaned
up.
They're
independent,
it's
just
it's
kind
of
a
nice
time
to
tell
you
the
truth
and.
A
Yeah
you're
welcome
and
actually
we
we
are
at
about
7
15,
but
we
certainly
can
hang
on
if
there
are
any
other
questions.
A
A
But
we
really
appreciate
all
you
do
to
make
our
job
as
easy
as
it
is
actually
you've
all
got.
Wonderful,
wonderful,
kids,.
H
I
I
It
is
indeed
7
16
and
our
teachers
and
staff
do
need
to
go
home
and
attend
to
their
own
families,
have
a
dinner
and
a
night
night
time
with
their
own
families
to
see
me
so
that
they
can
get
back
to
business,
be
as
fresh
as
possible
for
you
in
the
morning,
and
we
really
appreciate
again
you
attending
this
virtual
