**Welcome, Colleagues!**
This will be a place for us to discuss all the wonderful things we are doing as a staff at Underwood Elementary School! Here, we will be able to collaborate on any manner of projects, lesson plans, professional development, and other aspects of teaching and learning. First, let's begin with a BOOK CLUB WIKI! We've had such lively book club discussions in the past, and we have learned a tremendous amount; however, as the years have passed, some of the wonderful conversational insights have been forgotten. Also, due to all teachers' busy lives, and the fact that specialists work in more than one building, not everyone has been able to attend these professional discussions. Let's change all that with our wiki! Here, we can post reflections about each chapter of our texts, for present and future reference. This will become an ever-evolving document, with ideas from all of us! We can even combine this wiki with our lively in-person meetings for a tremendous blended learning opportunity (face-to-face + online tools= blended learning).

We'll begin with a page about our latest title, //Super 6 Comprehension Skills//. Click the navigation link at left, "super6", and you'll see links to each chapter. Click the chapter you'd like to illuminate us about, then click "Edit this page". Write your thoughts, share your successes related to the chapter, or post a lesson plan you were inspired to create after reading it. Don't forget to click "Save". If you click on a page someone else has started, feel free to add more insights! With a wiki, it's okay to add your idea directly where it relates to the document, instead of writing it at the end and referring to an earlier reflection. Think of it as editing and compiling a master resource for each chapter!

Let's enjoy this opportunity to learn together. We are fabulous!
