I recently had the pleasure of working with individual grade level teams at Seward Elementary!  Our goal was to develop specific writing units from their scope and sequence.  Although it was my job to facilitate the process, I learned so much from this JOurneY!

#1.  As always with careful, strategic planning our confidence as writing teachers increases.

#2.  I am still terrified of kindergarten (another story to be told) even if it is just working with the teachers.  #theyshouldreceivemorepay

#3.  Including hyperlinks in our lesson plans is now a thing (I am not going to lie, this makes this technology idiot develop sweaty hands.)! Thank you, second-grade team!

#4.  Step Up to Writing fits perfectly with a writer’s workshop framework.

#5.  Seward Elementary has a dedicated staff and leadership team to ensure success!
