I took a grad class, Teaching Writing K-12, in the spring, so I started doing Writer's Workshop towards the end of the year. This time, I want to start it from the beginning of the year but wasn't sure how to lead into it. These lessons/activities that you have described would be perfect! Also, I plan on reading The Best Story by Eileen Spinoli that first week or so along with Click, Clack, Moo. Oh the wheels are turning!! #teachernerd :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06685103185687187155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017952394211536997.post-55315056348003704582013-07-12T04:57:54.289-07:002013-07-12T04:57:54.289-07:00I was able to see Katie Wood Ray and Matt Glover a...I was able to see Katie Wood Ray and Matt Glover at an All Write Conference, amazing!

I had read some inspiring books over the summer and promised myself that writing would be a focus in the coming year. It turned out the be the BEST thing I've ever done in 20 years! I only wish I had more time to publish more than one book each year!<br />Thanks for hosting!<br />Susanna<br /><a href="http://whimsyworkshop.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow">Whimsy Workshop</a><br />Whimsy Workshop Teachinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435637341910015061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017952394211536997.post-60574643182599579072013-07-11T06:32:28.177-07:002013-07-11T06:32:28.177-07:00I just love revisiting all your fabulous posts.
