PLC Meeting

 Our first “Meet with Other Grade Levels” PLC is Tuesday. This PLC was designed based on your feedback and desire to meet with other grade levels to focus on a particular standard and/or topic responding to the question, “What content should we be teaching to better prepare our students?”

 

Trimester 1 Grade Level Focus
Grade Level	Focus
Y5s - 3rd	Meet vertically with colleagues who plan the same subject (math, ELA, Sci/SS/Moral Focus)
4th – 8th	Meet vertically with colleagues who teach the same subject

Your groups have been preselected for Trimester 1 (see below). However, everyone will have a choice in picking which subject area group they will be participating in for Trimester 2 and 3.
