During this meeting we shared meaningful projects and resources that support and inform the teaching of oral skills throughout the divisions. It seems that projects and culture will drive our exploration of these oral skills. Music was a common thread because of its universal nature that sparked a comparison of  common songs and resources to illustrate content and curriculum.

We also talked about the need for better platforms where the students can record and share their oral projects with us and we will follow up with tech for some recommendations and ideas.

We ended by reviewing the M.S. trips and the academic work being done in preparation for these trips.

We will begin our next meeting at the L.S. to share student work. All of this in preparation for our day long retreat in the Spring to add to our existing document on how we teach oral skills.
