Writing
Similar to reading, we use a workshop model with writing. Each lesson starts with a 10 minute mini-lesson, followed by a work time on individual stories, and finishes with sharing their work. We also use this time to focus on grammar, vocabulary and spelling.

In writing we really look to elevate our writing to the next level. We use the Lucy Calkins Units of Study, Oakland MI Units of Study, and concepts from Better Answers.
