Pacing Guide for Writers Workshop

I attended Writer's Workshop training and got my hands on 2012-2013 curricular calendar for kindergarten.  There are so many changes and it is aligned to the CCSS.  I have created a pacing guide based on Lucy Calkins new units of study for kindergarten.

Writing Checklist Bookmark

In the beginning of the school year, my students and I really dislike writing time.  Growing up, I was never fond of writing so I had a "I can care less attitude."  But after teaching writing and seeing the growth my students has made in writing, I am now passionate about it.  My students even ask for more time during writing block! How amazing is that!!!!  I am a proud teacher :)  A person that inspired me to teach writing is Deedee Wills from Mrs. Wills Kindergarten.  If you have not check out her blog, it is a MUST! She does an amazing job talking about her writing block.  She created a writing paper to use with her kids with editing checklist on the bottom.  What a smart lady!  I decided to take her idea and create a writing checklist bookmark for my kids so they can have it in their writing folder to reference.  If you would like to purchase it, please go to my TPT store
