Welcome Ms. Brooke!
Delicious Data!
Writer's Workshop PD Follow-Up
1) You must have 45 minutes of Writer's Workshop a day. If you do not, please make sure to go back to your schedule and adjust accordingly. We are currently making a master schedule of when writing instruction is taking place so we can provide support during those specific times.
2) Remember to keep mini-lessons "mini" -- try using a timer to help you with your pacing as it can be easy to turn "mini's" into "maxis"
