We have happily started our Writers Workshop unit in our Language Arts classes this week. During the first quarter we will be using a variety of tools and stimuli to start creating a folio of ideas that we will draw on throughout the year. The idea is for the children to understand that they are all writers and they have many memories that they can write about. Then we will help them to go to a deeper level in their writing to extract more meaning and value from their work.

Go to our class flickr page to check out some of your children in the writing zone digging down deep to remember some of the special experiences they can draw from in their writing. We really have a great class of writers in 5KP, it is very exciting.
