"Writer's Workshop"

We have started our "Writer's Workshop" program!

Every Wednesday the students sit down for about 20 minutes and write. At this stage they are writing personal narratives (real stories about things that have happened to them).




This activity allows them to work at their own level. It also allows individual attention from the teacher (known as conferences) to help take them to the next level.

Students have been extremely responsive to this activity and it is exciting to see them grow and become more confident and independent writers!
