Mandy Burdette:Maybe after circle time is it play time and carlos tells maria he is scared and she tells him the english words for things since she knows more english Christine:center time Mandy Burdette:like a mini tour? Mandy Burdette:yea Stephanie Hicklin:sure, she can point out picture labels at each center Melanie:I'm in Bookbuilder now to see if we can have a Spanish option. Mandy Burdette:so.....Page Four: Ms. Smiley says, "it's time for centers." She tells Carlos that Maria will be his buddy for the day. Mandy Burdette:???? Stephanie Hicklin:I know you can select the language for each coach and spanish is an option Christine:sounds good mandy Stephanie Hicklin:sounds good. Stephanie Hicklin:we need to have some kind of conflict happen, then maria show him how to do better, then he is presented with the situation again and does the right thing Stephanie Hicklin:does that make sense? Christine:maybe he pushes someone Mandy Burdette:also we could add...Carlos tells Maria he doesn't know how to ask to go to the bathroom? Stephanie Hicklin:because he wants what they are playing with Mandy Burdette:thats good. Stephanie Hicklin:she tells him how to ask for the toy and wait his turn Stephanie Hicklin:she can point out the pictures for bathroom, which are universal Mandy Burdette:we could add to pg. 4.... Mandy Burdette:Carlos sees a toy he wants, but other children are playing with it Stephanie Hicklin:block center? Mandy Burdette:thats good Mandy Burdette:legos? Stephanie Hicklin:maybe big trucks would be easier to steal, haha Christine:lol Christine:i was thinking cars Stephanie Hicklin:what do you call the center where they have the rug with the road map? Christine:we call it blocks Stephanie Hicklin:oh hah Mandy Burdette:thats our lego center with trucks and cars Stephanie Hicklin:can you tell i'm not early childhood?? Melanie:Just another thought..... sometimes the issue with children with developmental delays is that they only want to play by themselves and not interact Stephanie Hicklin:yes... Stephanie Hicklin:that was one of our original goals, i thought Melanie:Maybe the other students want him to play and he won't play with them Christine:so he pushes ..takes the truck and goes to play alone Stephanie Hicklin:i like that Melanie:right Christine:maria helps him come back to the group Mandy Burdette:Page 5: Carlos takes the truck from Stephen, and Stephen cries.? Stephanie Hicklin:yes, Mandy Burdette:Stephen starts to cry and Maria tells Carlos to be nice. Stephanie Hicklin:help...I'm just typing Mandy Burdette:maybe that can start pg 5. where she follows gim Christine:ok....playing evaluator again....lets check our language and ensure it is early childhood Melanie:Maybe she uses the word share Stephanie Hicklin:not sure what you mean christine? Christine:if someone is reading this story to kids...we need to make sure a 4 yr old could understand it Mandy Burdette:Sharing is when you play together and take turns. ???? Stephanie Hicklin:oh i got you Stephanie Hicklin:so is our audience a four year old or his parents? Christine:thought it was a kid's book Melanie:I thought 4 year old Mandy Burdette:yea Stephanie Hicklin:ok, Stephanie Hicklin:after we put everything into bookbuilder will it tell us the age level? Mandy Burdette:maybe we could add....Maria tells Carlos that sharing is when you play together and take turns. Maria and Carlos walk back over to Stephen. Maria tells Carlos how to say "i'm Sorry." Mandy Burdette:we select it i think Stephanie Hicklin:ok Christine:I think we did ok until the last part....stephen started crying instead of what we have Christine:or starts to cy Melanie:I guess I'm thinking about a child who knows little to no English and when new words or concepts are introduced there should be some emphasis like when Carlos takes the toy away by himself. That's not sharing. Christine:oops cry Christine:cool Christine:sets down and starts to cry....tense Stephanie Hicklin:So how should we word it? Christine:to stay the same...right? Mandy Burdette:Pg. 5: Maria tells Carlos that sharing is when you play together and take turns. Maria and Carlos walk back over to Stephen. Maria tells Carlos how to say i'm Sorry. does that sounds ok? Christine:sounds good Stephanie Hicklin:better? Christine:yep..thanks Stephanie Hicklin::) Christine:i like that mandy Mandy Burdette:Pg. 6: After Center time, should we do lunch or recess? Christine:lunch Stephanie Hicklin:lunch then recess Mandy Burdette:Pg. 6: After center time, Ms. Smiley takes the class to lunch. Mandy Burdette:Carlos doesn't know how to tell Ms. Smiley he wants ketchup on his hot dog?!!? haha Stephanie Hicklin:oh that's good Stephanie Hicklin:is what I just added ok? Mandy Burdette:yea! Christine:yes Melanie:I don't know how detailed you want to be but what about the class getting into a line to walk to the lunchroom? Mandy Burdette:Pg 6: Ms Smiley takes the class to lunch. Carlos gets his favorite food, a hot dog. He doesn't know how to ask for ketchup so he points to the bottle. Maria says, "That's (ketchup in spanish)". Mandy Burdette:i mean in english Stephanie Hicklin:that's good Mandy Burdette:and then maybe... Maria tells Carlos to say "please" when you want something because it is good manners. Melanie:That's good Mandy Burdette:pg.7....we could do lining up to go to recess melanie Melanie:K Christine:bathroom break before? Stephanie Hicklin:Ok Mandy Burdette:Ms. Smiley tells Carlos to get in line to go to recess. Carlos gets infront of all of his new friends. Stephanie Hicklin:and because she already pointed out the signs, he knows where it is Stephanie Hicklin:that's good mandy Melanie:Maria shows him how to stand in line without touching other students/ Stephanie Hicklin:we could say, "Carlos remembered Maria showing him the boys bathroom symbol in their classroom, so he knew where to go. Melanie:Or maybe that it's ok to stand it line with others? Stephanie Hicklin:and then get out of the bathroom and go to the from of the line Stephanie Hicklin:front sry Mandy Burdette:so....Ms. Smiley tells Carlos to line up to go to the bathroom. Carlos gets in front of all of his new friends. Stephen pushes him out of the way. Maria reminds Carlos how to say "i'm sorry." Stephanie Hicklin:just a thought... Stephanie Hicklin:since this is his first day, should we have Ms. Smiley have flash cards with her through the day Stephanie Hicklin:and hold them up when appropriate, like bathroom Stephanie Hicklin:or playground Christine:maybe she gives them to him at the end Melanie:That would be a good idea Mandy Burdette:i like that Stephanie Hicklin:because we are throwing a lot of English at him on the first day Stephanie Hicklin:So we can go back and add that part Melanie:Maybe she has them throughout the day and let's him take them home to practice Stephanie Hicklin:that's good Stephanie Hicklin:the front can be english and the back spanish so mom can help Melanie:good Christine:is there a way to incorporate flash cards at the end of the book or link to an outside page Melanie:i don't know Stephanie Hicklin:that is a great idea Stephanie Hicklin:did y'all see what I just added? Stephanie Hicklin:page 3 Stephanie Hicklin:i'm sure we can figure it out mandy Stephanie Hicklin:even if we make them a pdf and link to it Melanie:That's good Mandy Burdette:Pg. 8: After the bathroom break, Ms. Smiley takes the children out for recess. Stephanie Hicklin:how about the kids are playing a group game and carlos is not interested Mandy Burdette:Carlos runs and runs. He climbs all the way up the ladder but starts to cry because he is scared to go down the slide. Mandy Burdette:Or Carlos follows Maria up the ladder. Melanie:that works. And maybe Maria comes to help him down the slide Mandy Burdette:or waits at the bottom and kind of coaches him Christine:or stephen does Stephanie Hicklin:yeah, i like stephen Melanie:Both? Mandy Burdette:yea because he needs to make friends with stephen Mandy Burdette:Carlos runs and runs. He follows Maria up the ladder, and she slides down the big slide. Carlos starts to cry Melanie:Stephanie I liked what you said about not playing with the group to begin with Stephanie Hicklin:just thinking about the socialization part Mandy Burdette:Stephen tells Carlos to be brave, and Carlos closes his eyes and slides down all by himself. Mandy Burdette:Carlos could say "thank you (in spanish) amigo" and maria could say that means thank you friend in english Mandy Burdette:that way he is learning to socialize and make new friends Christine:sounds good Melanie:that's good Stephanie Hicklin:ok, and the three of them run off together to line up to go inside Mandy Burdette:yea Melanie:sweet Stephanie Hicklin:how about this? Stephanie Hicklin:Stephen asks Maria, "how do you say "you are welcome in spanish" Stephanie Hicklin:She tells him, he says it to Carlos and Carlos smiles big Mandy Burdette:i like that.....Maria tell Stephen "you're welcome in Spanish" Christine:i like that Melanie:that Melanie:'sgood Christine:do we need to split page 8 to 8/9...a lot of wording for one page Melanie:Do they come back in for nap time, classwork or storytime? Stephanie Hicklin:yes, probably haha Stephanie Hicklin:Is that a good split? Christine:yep Melanie:Those changes look good Mandy Burdette:pg. 10: The three new friends go back to the classroom for storytime. Melanie:Carlos sits between MAria and Stephen Mandy Burdette:Ms. Smiley reads Carlos' favorite story, "Brown Bear, Brown bear???" Carlos' mom reads it to him every night in Spanish, and Ms. Smiley reads it in English. Stephanie Hicklin:that's good. Mandy Burdette:After story time, Carlos' mom can come pick him up and ms. smiley can give him to flash cards to take home....he can say goodbye to his new friends Melanie:That's good Stephanie Hicklin:that sounds good.

Mandy Burdette:dont forget to post your time in the time log Mandy Burdette:i say we do clipart/cartoon images Stephanie Hicklin:me too, much easier to find too Christine:me three Melanie:I agree Mandy Burdette:there are some examples of books where someone just drew them like in microsoft paint Mandy Burdette:they turned out kind of cute....they were very simple with few images but looked good so that is an option if we cant find many images Stephanie Hicklin:mine would be awful if I did that Melanie:I found the ones I put in my powerpoint just googling Mandy Burdette:yea i googled clipart images and there was a ton of stuff Stephanie Hicklin:i get so nervous about using those without permission Melanie:I checked most of mine and couldn't find who to get permission from Mandy Burdette:clip art is copyright free correct? Stephanie Hicklin:i know, that's why i get nervous. seems like i can never find that info on the good graphics Christine:at the end if we reference the sites...we should be fine right? Stephanie Hicklin:not all of it Mandy Burdette:yea....we are actually supposed to include the references for graphics on each storyboard page Stephanie Hicklin:it has to specify that, but like i said the best stuff has copyright or you have to buy it Mandy Burdette:so are we meeting next mon @ 8? Stephanie Hicklin:i guess, we just need to try to use "free" clipart and make sure we write down where we got it Stephanie Hicklin:8 is good for me Mandy Burdette:yea include it on the page you place it in on the storyboard Stephanie Hicklin:ok Melanie:That's fine Mandy Burdette:i guess ill talk to you guys next week! have a good night and good luck with image searching everyone! Stephanie Hicklin:i have one more question Melanie:Good night! Christine:ok Melanie:? Mandy Burdette:ok Stephanie Hicklin:were we supposed to say what the coaches roles were going to be tonight? Mandy Burdette:i think we will just use them to translate the english to spanish Melanie:I agree Christine:me too Stephanie Hicklin:i saw a really good example in one of the model books where each time the first coach posed a question, the second gave a hint to the answer and the third gave the answer Mandy Burdette:we will just use one so its not too confusing to the children Stephanie Hicklin:ok Stephanie Hicklin:just checking Mandy Burdette:thata a good idea too Mandy Burdette:we can add that in when we start developing if we want! Stephanie Hicklin:it was consistent through the story and looked really good Stephanie Hicklin:ok, sounds good Stephanie Hicklin:sorry, just wanted to ask while we were all here Melanie:That may be used as part of the assessment when we get to that point Mandy Burdette:good idea Stephanie Hicklin:ok, sorry! i know it is late, night everyone Christine:nite Melanie:Good night Mandy Burdette:good night
