We Love Writer's Workshop!




My learners never want Writer's Workshop to end and they always want to share.  Many of my learners continue to write at home and then bring them to school to share with me.

The Pens Are Here





Do you want to inspire your learners in writer's workshop? 

Give them a pen! 


At the beginning of the school year the students meet Ramon, a character in Peter Reynolds's book Ish. That begins our building of classroom community  You do not have to be perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. 

In our classroom we do things Ishfully!

I have been watching my learners during workshop and even though we know it is okay to mess up, some of them are still ERASING!

Thankfully I decided to give them a new tool ... A Pen! Now as they continue to share their voice their words are authentic and absolutely wonderful.
