I hope to not lose the playtime my students need to develop language and social/emotional skills.

I hope that the online planning tools are easy to navigate.
I hope to be able to incorporate using my laptop and projector in a functional way.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that this improves my literacy instruction specifically regarding writing.
I hope that the students get as excited about learning as I saw in Julie's class today.

What "stuff" do we need to work into our classroom routines? What materials are we going to need to introduce to our students?

# data[].attributes.body
I will be able to keep up with the Modules

# data[].attributes.body
How many Modules are there all together?

# data[].attributes.body
What is the expectation for amount of time spent implementing the Modules, lessons, etc.?

The LearnZillion website looks like it will be a valuable resource. It is user friendly and can be accessed easily anywhere.
I hope to be able to incorporate some of the Labs into my classroom next year.

Will we be meeting as a grade-level across district to discuss our 1st year experience?

# data[].attributes.body
VERY excited about the Habits of Character- incorporating social emotional learning in the daily ELA block. This was an extremely helpful experience- both visiting the classroom and all of the work with Jenn in the afternoon. I feel much more comfortable about teaching this in the fall.

# data[].attributes.body
I am feeling better about seeing a place to keep Choice Time within the schedule. I am still feeling some concern about managing EL overall- a lot of new routines, and structures to introduce to a group who may or may not need support with basic school routines (sit, don't bite/hit).

How can we work Magna-Tiles into the budget? :) Also, more "creative" toys (make, build, construct).

# data[].attributes.body
How will we manage collecting materials needed for module lessons (ladles, tweezers)?

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that these Habits of Character are utilized throughout the school and shared with lunchroom staff, specialists, support staff, paraprofessionals, etc...

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that we are able to have one main resource to access slides, teacher created documents (anything that pilot teachers have created) to make it easier than navigating the EL website.  I also hope that we are provided all necessary materials for ALL aspects of EL.  Since we have to get used to teaching an entirely new program, I don't want to have to also worry about finding additional copies of books or materials for experiments/labs.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that we'll have time to incorporate Open Circle curriculum because I can see it connecting well with the habits of character component.

# data[].attributes.body
Are we going to be able to meet with other grade level teachers in the district during the year to talk about EL, get advice, suggestions, ask questions, etc.?

# data[].attributes.body
Are there similarities between EL in different grades? Are routines/language similar?

# data[].attributes.body
I hope I have access to materials and time to support teachers/students in various grades.

# data[].attributes.body
I found the observation very helpful.  Knowing nothing about EL, the observation allowed me to get a better idea of the structure and routines of the lessons as well as a look into content we'll be teaching.  The host teachers were very open to answering questions and being there for us as a resource next year if we need additional support.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that we will have time to plan/collaborate across schools.

# data[].attributes.body
Will extra planning time be provided? It sounds like Whittemore had some 1/2 day planning days....not sure if that is because they were piloting?

# data[].attributes.body
How can we ensure that the needs of our English Learners (particularly  lower ELs and newcomers) are met within this curriculum?

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that we are allowed planning time like Whittemore (i.e. 1/2 days) to navigate and plan through the materials as a team.

# data[].attributes.body
Is there a homework component and/or family communication piece.

# data[].attributes.body
How can we change/modify our schedule/supports to best support the implementation of EL?

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that we are able to schedule support staff (or make class lists) in a way that allows them to best support the kids during instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
It was worthwhile to observe the teachers today.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that we will be able to support the classroom teachers by having common planning time built into our schedule.

# data[].attributes.body
How will we work the support staff schedules?
