I'm Having So Much Fun
Hello girls! I have had WW every day this week, and it is going really well! It's so much fun! The kids are just bananas over it. They get so excited that they can hardly wait until after recess, when we do it. If I'm a minute late getting started, they call me on it. It's so cool! We have made anchor charts and dedicated an entire bulletin board to writing. I bought some pocket-sized spiral notebooks for them to use as their "Traveling Writer's Notebook." You'd have thought I'd given them gold or something. Every morning they come in and show me their ideas for writing. One girl was in the middle of telling me something that had happened to her the night before, and in mid-sentence she said, "I should be writing this in my Writer's Notebook!" It was awesome! I just couldn't help but share with all of you. Thank everyone for their support and great ideas! Wow!

Go Becky, Go Becky, GO! :) It is a WOW! That is why I love working and teaching young writers so much. I am glad you are seeing first hand what I've known for years! :) I am honored to be able to get you going down this road! January- we will talk about Conferences... I am planning it now and it is another big piece that will help you in your journey.
