Writing workshop... where to begin! I will start by saying, this is my favorite time of the day!! Students are coming up to me constantly saying, "can I tell you something?" or "Did you know?" Writing workshop is the time for them to tell me everything they want. It is a time for every student to get the ideas they have in their mind out and onto the paper to share!
The first unit in the Writers' Workshop curriculum is all about students teaching people what they know. We know a lot!! We know a lot about our homes, school, animals, the playground, and really everything :) When our special writing music comes on, we are the boss of our own writing. We get our tools (pencil, paper, and writing folder) and find a place around the room where we can be a writer!
At the end of writing workshop, we take time to share the hard work that we have done. Sometimes this is up on the big screen in front of the class and other times it is with our learning partner.
