8th+Grade+Thurs.+Meeting+Agenda

Thurs. : Jan. 20

====We spent our meeting planning our schedules for MAP testing next week. Lock/Block homerooms decided to modify their schedule so they would have at least 1 ELA and Science class each day. All students must bring a book to read after testing. They are not able to leave the testing area until the class is done. For math testing students will need a pencil and scrap paper. Testing proctors will be in each testing area to help the teachers. Computer numbers and directions should be read to students before they go down for testing. Second hour will end at 9:20 on testing days. We agreed to meet on Friday morning to complete recommendations and to do a schedule for Mrs. Obrien.====

Science ordered bare minimum for ordering books.Deb said we identified a need and let's start ordering. It is an every year project. Think in terms of about $1000.
