Evidence / Knowledge of Results (What did we learn?)

Recommendations (What do we need to do differently?)

• Children were immersed in a language rich environment by using building blocks, kindergarten word list, journal writing and quality tools and therefore their writing was increased.

• Continue using building blocks methods, kindergarten word list, journal writing and quality tools, but begin on the first day of the school year.

• Meeting as a grade level team we were able to brainstorm techniques that were the most valuable tools in choosing objectives, writing prompts and students outcomes each month.

• We will continue to meet as a whole grade level team monthly to revise and reflect, but not focus on themes—just skills.

• Due to our students’ writing scores we learned that our weakest areas fell in the areas of support / elaboration and organization

• We will continue to collect the students’ writing data, but we will all consistently use the 1,2,3 plan and collaborate using the same writing prompts.
