What I got away from this PD was the understanding map.  I remember it before, but it was good to refresh my memory and use the map while planning what you said about exploring and creating the Montessori school—creating more places to explore and create.  I enjoy talking to the other teachers in my grade group.   I appreciate everybody chatting and laughing with each other.

Today’s CCA Day taught me how to shift my thinking about thinking routines. “It’s not thinking routines, it’s making this thinking routine.” I learned about incorporating thinking and understanding into tasks.

I’m thinking about implementing a pd on how to help scholars focus, and cut through the noise in their heads.

My next step around building a culture of thinking would be to incorporate micro labs and an SEL on teamwork.

#1- what have you gained from today's collaboration?

I appreciated the opportunity to follow-up/expand on our conversation with Mr. Church in terms of considering the thinking map and how we can move from thinking routines to making thinking routine.  It was also the first time I got to see another school in DC, so I enjoyed walking around and seeing how another first grade was set up.  Last year, I'd also considered doing a watercolor reflection activity that was presented at another collaboration day, and that activity was repeated on Friday- which makes me want to follow through this time.

#2- what thinking is coming up for you around thinking moves?

In our meeting on Thursday, we considered what thinking we routinely do in everyday life.  It is also good to call out and name our scholar's thinking (making connections, capturing the heart, etc...)

#3- what might your next steps be around building a culture of thinking?

The first graders this year have really been set up well.  I want to be more intentional to use/with how I'm using thinking routines (to make thinking routine) and also implementing elements of the thinking map.

I gained a deeper understanding of the intention behind thinking routines and how to use different routines.

I figured out some ways to use thinking routines to help with differentiating in the classroom.

My next steps around building a culture of thinking will be to incorporate thinking routines often and use consistent language when doing so.

After the meeting With Mark Church and the collaboration day, I must say that I'm feeling more confident in my ability to curate thinking in my classroom. I'm now asking myself about the thinking moves happening in my classroom.Where can they create claims and create their own ways to solve the problems.

I feel like we notice and wonder but I am truly finding opportunities for the scholars to make connections and explore complexities.

During my session with Mark I opened up and he really made the concepts make sense. I realized that thinking only becomes routine when it's something we routinely do.

What kind of learning would I like my scholars to explore and what type of thinking moves are necessary for this to happen? What kind of thinking would I like to make routine?
