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!

Saving Grace.......
Melissa, thank you so much for being so motivating and such an inspiration. After the first two weeks of school I was ready to give up. I racked my brain trying to come up with ideas of jobs other than teaching. After your workshop, you gave me motivation to get up and go to work. I have something to look forward to now! I've been working my butt off putting together writing folders and trying to get everything in order to get the ball rolling. I know it's early, but I am really thinking I might like to teach a higher grade and focus more on writing in the future. I can't wait to see where this leads me..............

You are so sweet! I have been there- looking for other jobs the year of my K/1 BLEND classroom. There aren't other jobs for true teachers at heart! I hear you about wanting to spend ALL DAY WRITING and that is not allowed anywere but 4th grade in TX! Keep in mind though that we need teachers who are passionate about writing in the lower grades especially! I'm so glad you are enjoying it as much as I do.
