love to be inspired!

I was so inspired today! I love Melissa for inspiring me at all the workshops I attend of her's. However, this is one that I am especially passionate about. I have done a form of writer's workshop in my classes over the last few years. The problem is I can never wrap my mind around the logistics of the whole concept and incorporating it into my classroom with all the demands of each day of teaching these days! I have read numerous books on writer's workshop but this is the first time I am hearing it step by step in a systematic approach that I know can work in my room with a little tweaking of my schedule! So excited to actually think I will teach it the "right" way with all this training this year! Oh, by the way, I am Jennifer, I teach 1st grade at Clifton Elementary. I have always pretty much taught Kindergarten so this is a learning year for me as well!

  1. OK.. so I just actually CLAPPED my hands together and whispered yay as I read this post! Good thing there are walls around me and I no one saw! I am smiling from ear to ear- a very proud teacher of teachers here! :) I'm so glad you feel ready to do this! Keep reading those books- and let me know the titles... I'll see you in November... this is going to be a great year!
