I am sure that the MP1 units will be exciting for the children, but EBI : I would have liked to know that we definitely were changing to MP1, by the first week of school. At the Back to School Night, it should have been known to us, so we could tell parents that it was happening 2nd term. https://padlet.com/m_mcdonald1/s0s07y3wl7pz/wish/143624868 2016-12-14 15:29:41 UTC https://padlet.com/m_mcdonald1/s0s07y3wl7pz/wish/143624868 WWW https://padlet.com/m_mcdonald1/s0s07y3wl7pz/wish/143625243 My collaboration with my teacher is great and I am learning from her every day. She is letting me take initiatives.
I also, feel that we are a great team (the Early Years). We help each other all the time.
Finally, as an assistant I would like to mention that Vita is helping us a lot. She is always there for us and I feel that those assistant meetings are really beneficial!]]> 2016-12-14 15:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/m_mcdonald1/s0s07y3wl7pz/wish/143625243 www https://padlet.com/m_mcdonald1/s0s07y3wl7pz/wish/143626416 2016-12-14 15:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/m_mcdonald1/s0s07y3wl7pz/wish/143626416 EBI https://padlet.com/m_mcdonald1/s0s07y3wl7pz/wish/143626815 We all treat each other like the professionals that we all are.  We all have a lot of good ideas and experience ]]> 2016-12-14 15:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/m_mcdonald1/s0s07y3wl7pz/wish/143626815 E https://padlet.com/m_mcdonald1/s0s07y3wl7pz/wish/143627444 PD 1/2 days / PLC- again focus on what we feel we might need support with.  Focused meeting with focused agendas]]> 2016-12-14 15:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/m_mcdonald1/s0s07y3wl7pz/wish/143627444 www https://padlet.com/m_mcdonald1/s0s07y3wl7pz/wish/143627638 It is so helpful that we are learning more about the IPC.
