Writer's Workshop

Before winter break we launched our first ever Writer's Workshop.  For our first book, each student selected a topic that interests them.  They were asked to select a topic that they are familiar with.  Rule number one of writing: write what you know.  For our first experience, each student is working one-to-one, as we stretch out words, write the sounds that we hear, use a thumb space between words, and a period at the end of a sentence.
