The document outlines a coach's meeting agenda which includes updates, play planning procedures for 4-year-olds, e-folios, and phonological awareness instruction. It provides details on introducing a choose-say-draw-go process for play planning, including modeling the steps, handing out materials, and storing the plans. Guidelines are given for getting started with e-folios by collecting play plans, photos, and other documents weekly in hard copy folders and digital folders. The developmental sequence of phonological awareness is also mentioned.
