001we're going to call the meeting to order please stand for the fled I pledge Ali to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for it stands Nation God indivisible with liy and justice for all can you member steel is absent member lion Welch member Frederick here member billsboro here member Holbrook here member Dean here member Lake here thank you I think you I'm sorry but I think you need to leave the door open in case anybody comes in so they don't think it's a closed meeting uh we're going to have a presentation from Lake Middle School literacy committee we are so I've got uh three members of the committee here with us uh it's a new committee that we started this year at our school and the goal is to
002foster a culture of literacy at Lake Middle School so they're here to talk about some of the things that we're doing and some of the things we hope to do in the future so I'm Max Nala I teach 8th grade United States history Kathy Adam monus sixth grade English and I'm marah Johnson I teach seventh grade um life science yeah so like uh Jacob said we just started these committees this year and this new committee is centered around you know fostering that culture of literacy engagement and so we brainstormed at the beginning of the year what it means to read what that may look like in our classrooms and how you know that culture can be spread not only in our English classes but along the whole school in general and so this is just
003a quote that we have that is kind of you know our why and the more you read or the more that you read the more things that the more things you will know the more that you learn the more Places You'll Go okay I have to say that one again because he didn't say it like Dr Su says the more that you read the more things you will know the more that you learn the more places you oh Dr Sue from all the Places You'll Go Sor teach I don't have the T um I do have the data though so um we essentially in the beginning of the year around September we sent out a survey to get a feel for where we were at as a building and essentially a lot of that data
004came back with teachers um offerings such as Mariah she offers content to her students that is isn't directly in the timeline of their curriculum but part of that community of learning and that culture is we are not just reading what we are doing now we want to expand our knowledge greater than what it is and teachers in another survey that we sent out in uh late February I added in a question here you can see the pie chart to the right that teachers are willing to read 15 minutes a week to students on their content and now you may be wondering why is this an important question why does this matter well when a teacher is reading hopefully the students are following along they're expected to be following along and when they are doing that
005they are able to follow how words are being said how you know how even as little as how long are you supposed to after a com and a lot of these small things build up to the comprehension of the text that they're reading and also if they were to stumble upon a hard word you know a student may ask what does that word mean and the teacher can direct them well let's use our context clues and there's these little moments in those times that Foster a great learning yeah great learning to how am I reading how am I breaking down and using my skills and my logic to understand more of what the text is saying um just under half of teachers are reading content based material more than three times a week and we've
006noticed some of the holes in our data pertain to Math teachers and so that is also something that we are working on how can we also Foster that environment in a subject such as math and uh last thing we've had a small growth even though this has been a new committee and that teachers you know may not be fully familiar with the goals that we have that is also something that we are trying to get the whole staff on board with a clear message of this is what we're trying to do this is how we are doing it and this is what we want our future to work another event that we did so we've been trying to incorporate reading events um throughout the year was National read a book day we took the first
00715 minutes of our first hour like right before class kind of during their passing time um and they got to pick a book and they got to enjoy reading in their different classrooms so a lot of these pictures up top um one of the teachers shut off all the lights and like encouraged them to bring like a flashlight to read in their classroom to kind of make it more engaging and Max said it earlier we're trying to incorporate these little things to incor like build uh to a higher engagement with books reading like that really big Cultural Literacy we're trying to establish um so we celebrated this on September 6th this was like our first event that we rolled out to students um and it lands on every year so this is at the same
008day um this is something we hope to continue and hopefully at some point this will be something that sixth graders you know as they as they grow up at seventh grade we're looking forward to the read a book day 8ighth grade we're looking forward to the read a book day another thing that we uh did this year we did teacher literacy posters each teacher was given one of these posters in their mailbox we just made it on Cana really quick really easy and um teachers were just given kind of an open frame um on how to do this uh just to post what they're reading um which is really neat so in the top left that person just uses a whiteboard marker to fill theirs out and these are posted in the hallway uh accessible
009and easy to see uh for all students and then the bottom the left um Mr Clark one of our teachers he did it with a few of his students as well which was really cool um and then our librarian hers is neat she always has a paperback book and an audio book on hers kind of to show the difference and how you can read and take in literacy and then some teachers like the bottom right put what they're reading and then keep the books that they've already read and we just had um since it's March Madness we we bring March Madness all into it actually our S one of our science teachers they're doing a March Madness with animals and we um sixth grade English we're doing a poetry March Madness and so this is
010the March Madness uh book brackets that we did and uh one of our other committee members kind of found some books that are popular for middle grade levels and varying genres and in our Focus hour the kids were given these links and they listened with headphones and then they were um book trailers and they filled out all the books and we're going to get the results later this week she said she's got them all tallied and so for kids doing this they're like they got it they're going to get a ticket and they put it in and there's going to be some random little prizes that they're they're going to get and to encourage them to read um the books that are popular in their age group right now and U Mr cumar on the
011morning announcements he's saying a book synopsis of he does one book a day and I've even I mean I have a smaller class of 20 in my first period And I have at least three four five kids a day that are you know I can hear them discuss oh that sounds like an interesting book or you know would you read that like I think I would read that and it's those conversations that we want to encourage in the classroom and then another part to March uh March's reading month we've had dress up days so we did different themes um Monday was monoch monochromatic Monday so they did um picked a of the rainbow to show that reading comes in every shade um and then Tuesday was twin Tuesday um and they got to show that
012readings better in pairs uh Wednesday was workout Wednesday Max is up there in the middle um to show that uh reading works out our brains and then Thursday we did tropical Thursday we don't have any of those pictures up there um just say that reading takes those places and then Friday was your favorite book character Friday and this is a book club of students that has developed out of them wanting to emulate a teachers book club that we started so a group of teachers that um I think it started right at the end of the year we read one book at the end of the year yep and then really got going this Summer and the kids heard us talking about the book club that we were doing a meeting once a month and so
013some of them went to Mrs stall and wanted to start a book club and they have been meeting I think about 3 weeks and so these are the kids in their first book and they are um they've had more than this but this is how many showed up for the picture that night and they are really enjoying themselves with that and kuis I believe it was Kuan sponsored their books which is really neat so they got to all they bought their books and then I think the next one is US teachers book yeah so these are those of us who are meeting right now with in our book club as teachers yeah and even um some of the kids as well you hear them in class like you should join the book club it's so
014much fun and you know like the word is spreading around this stuff and as you know right now this is kind of a new thing that we are fostering and so you hear these conversations and then like I always think like what could come out of this next year and a couple years know what could we grow this into so um leading into may we don't have any pictures up because this is something that we are planning to do and so I think it was last year we started to do our caring Cardinal drawing so if a student was found doing a good deed they would be giving a caring Cardinal ticket that they would fill out you just put their name on it they put it in a basket and then each week there'd
015be a drawing for for two people to earn a small prize and we had an idea that what if we did that but students reading so many times students that are those High Achievers get overlooked in our classrooms and we want to reward them so we had an idea that if we did something similar to that carrying Cardinals ticket but we did a caught your reading month of May so during the month of May each teacher would get a um stack of tickets and then if they saw any students that were reading in their classrooms without being told to read then they would just quietly walk by and put it on their desk and then similar to the caring Cardinals drawing they put that ticket in a bucket and then that would get drawn out
016at the end of each week in May um book prizes yeah so we're going to have uh book prizes for that and Kendra banor she was unable to make it today but she is um reaching out to local businesses to see if they're willing to donate anything for us to use for prizes for the students um we just have a few future goals um we would love to do an author visit but those can get pretty expensive and we even figured if we did one every 3 years so that each group of students that came in through the middle school got a chance to be a part of one of those author visits that would even be worthwhile for them and the average cost of these author visits range from about 1,000 to $3,000 can
017I talk okay so the the next one is partnering um with an Elementary classroom and I teach a sixth grade elective on service learning and I've done it for a a long time in my previous District too and one of the most rewarding things that my kids did is wrote their own books and then walked to the elementary school and sat down and read them with the kindergarteners there and then gave their book to the kindergarteners I would see even the toughest toughies just glow with sitting with a little one next to them and it was always the most completed assignment I ever had like 98% of them they tell their moms can't school today I got to work on my book I got a kindergartener depending on me to get my book done and
018so we would love to do something like that in fact my class this week the last two weeks has partnered with our CI classes and my kids have gone and read to people their age but you know a little bit of a younger understanding so this is something else that we would like to do as I'm looking here y so that that is one of our other um want want to and then any question questions that you guys have for us I have two questions is the book club only an eighth grade thing or is that something that you're doing sixth seventh and eth and then my other question um was can you possibly send home the list of those brackets of the most popular reading for when they're announced yeah make birthdays and Christmas
019a lot easier for me I'd really appreciate yeah we we can probably we can probably print off like a filled in bracket to get some of those synopsis on them even absolutely um another thing about the book club so that's an after school program as well so that's really cool that kids are like deciding to spend their time after school to like have that time together um to read and have discussion and it is in Mrs st's room it's open to all grades um so it's pretty neat and all of our kids had to fill out an interest form in their focus out we put links in our Focus hour Google classroom and because they wanted to get an idea about how many kids would even be interested in it before they even started it
020so how well is our library the Middle School library equipped for books that the kids would enjoy reading I think it's I think it's w quick I would agree yeah H um is our librarian and she does great with that so she's fantastic really made it a point sorry I was going to say she made it a point this year to really beef up our ml books to our multi- language books um at the beginning of the year that wasn't a very big section and I worked with her to make sure we got some of those books in other languages or that are in both English and Arabic or English and Spanish um and so she's really boosting that up and she's always on she's constantly curating more books for us to to add to
021our collection there at the middle school and I was just going to add she's very personal with the students and um you hear her when she's communicating with kids just as they're checking out books you know do you like this book do you like one similar and she kind of um I actually spoke to her about it recently and she was talking about she just kind of like keeps this stuff in mind she kind of finds patterns with students and she keeps that in mind when she is ordering new books too so um I think that our collection is just going to grow stronger as in you know not just numbers but but that piece of Engagement for the students who want to read there's another thing um we have a new bookshelf that's um
022there on stands when she gets new books in and she does it thematically so like right now there's a lot about like Ramadan and and the Arabic culture is all this months on there and some other month that might be baseball for spring or things like that and she puts different genres that meets her theme for the month and then the kids can check those out from that shelf too that's good I'm curious about this reading program that you were telling me about where an older student would take a book and read to a younger student what age would be the older student and what age would be the younger student and what book I mean the book they that they personally wrote or what yeah so um I this is my fourth year here
023and I previously taught in Battle Creek for 21 years and then I moved here got remarried moved here and so what I did um I had to teach um the reading um like like how how um the writing process um like the oh my gosh my my words are leaping me I never so I had to teach that so what we would do we would study well-written children's books and we would find what what do they do good they have large print they have um uh not a lot of words um they have good pictures that go with the words they you know have um characters that are fun and things like that so we'd study all of that and then my students seventh and eighth grade students is what I taught there they would
024write their own children's book and um then we would take their book that they wrote I I used um donors choose to get like booklets that they would then draw their their books pages and sometimes we would type the words sometimes the teachers would write the words the first year we wrote the words and I didn't think we were ever going to get the words all written um so we wrote the words or typed them and put them in there and then the kids would take those books across the street to um the elementary that was across the street from my building and we worked it out with kindergarten and first grade teachers and they as their service they gave their book to the child that they read with and then I know a lot
025of teachers kept them in their book racks for the rest of the year and then let the kids take them home at the end of the year so kindergarten first grade kindergarten first grade is what they were targeted for because they were they had studied children's books yeah seems like a very nice program thank you very much you think about the technology today that we have years ago I that was like 10 years ago you know the kids could just talk into the computer now and they'll type up something so I mean I think it would be a very you know I wouldn't say super efficient but it would be more efficient it would be more easier and it would be um more applicable to the students if they are taking that ownership for what
026they're bringing to younger ones well thank you very much you now you can stay for the rest of this exciting meeting or you can escape if you would thank you um I do I'm sorry I don't want I do just want to say that this is a new committee and you know just like the the point of life is if we knew what we were you know heading into then there'd be no point at all so this can grow this could be you know something that could be you know something huge and something that our school and our district as a whole you know Gets behind so I leave you guys with that you're also reading Max across the curriculum and doing this which is it's not just English I mean i' um you know
027I'll shout out Heather over there my teaching partner we are um you know really constantly adding primary sources adding second sources that may be controversial with other secondary sources and the interest in that too of you know can you be the one that spots the difference and it's F very enjy thank you niely thank you have a good night thank you uh are there any individuals that would like to address the board I have no slips we have the approval of the minutes from the last meeting of February 24th is there a motion support any discussion all in favor I oppos motion passes next we have uh agenda additions and deletions yeah we have two um under action items Roman numeral 7 item number one request to approve the 2526 Coldwater High School program of
