Getting the writing workshop started at the beginning of the school year can be so daunting! It doesn't have to be! Let me help you to get started! I have

How to writing is one of my favorite writing units to teach. My students just get it and they enjoy writing many, many pieces! Maybe it’s because my students think they know how to do everyyyytthiinngggg. 😉 If your students are like mine, let them run with the idea that they know it ALL and have […]

If you're a teacher and you've ever taught writing, I need not insert the thoughts that run through your head as you read a piece that you've worked on for 2 weeks only to get something that looks like this: I went to the beach. It was fun. The food was good. I had fun. My…

My students were having difficulty staying focused at writing center. I decided to make theses folders for them to grab from the writing center and take back to their seats.
