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!

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!

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!
