This blog is for teachers who are participating in a Writer's Workshop Institute through ESC Region 12. We will come together 5 times throughout the school year and when we are not together this BLOG will help us with our collaboration as teachers as well as our growth as writers!

Getting Started
On Monday, I will start Writer's Workshop with my Kindergarten class. I have done a Writer's Workshop in the past, but after our first session, I decided to approach it a little differently this time. I won't be running around the room trying to transcribe for the kids. That was exhausting. I had never thought about the fact that I don't fix their pictures so why should I fix their words? I'm going to start with the book "Will You Be My Friend?" by Eric Carle and show the class how to tell a story with pictures. I'll let you know what happens.

Well, the day is done! How did it go? That sounds like a great way to start- pictures tell a story! :) You go girl.... we'll have LOTS of Mini-Lesson ideas to help you KEEP GOING in November. If you have questions as you go, this is the place! We are proud of you. Who else has started? Give us the details...
