 * Suggestions offered were KUDo, Common core, STEM
 * Looked at the one pager under a closer microscope.
 * Explore further how to use the Math navigator and where the time would come from
 * The one page snapshot is taken out of SIP and allows for other people to understand what we are doing and how. Positive feedback on the one pager.
 * CHARM initiative is underway and we are using this in cafeteria, classrooms, hallway, bus, bathroom, playground, specialists, special events.
