Please join in this blog! As I am thinking about the first week of school I would love to hear how others are preparing to get started. Both chapters 4 & 5 give excellent tips for classroom management during writing instruction. This summer in my third grade class of migrant ed. program students, I found the mini-lesson structure a great way to plan each day. My students were ELLs so we had a lot of laughs when I tried out my Spanish. Some of these students could write in Spanish but many came here from Mexico before mastering their native language in writing, and were trying to learn to speak and write English without that fundamental skill. These children needed many more models, repetitions and examples than Lucy C. would probably have liked. It worked, however. What do you think will work in your classroom? I welcome your input. Happy August :-)
