Writer’s Workshop continues to be utilized in 5th Grade. This allows students to write and share their personal stories, memoirs, new information learned from non-fiction investigations, poetry, imaginative narrative, and much more. Every student will have a writer’s notebook. We will be publishing a piece of writing with each unit of study. Many of the writing pieces will be typed on the students' Chromebooks.
