Writers Workshop

I came into Mrs. Winklemann's class from the hallway because I heard the words, small moments, come from the room. I love observing writers workshop and the Lucy Caulkins model of writing is very powerful instruction. After discussing and reading about small moments, the students sat down to write. I am writing with them while they write and it is such a great feeling to be a part of a room of authors. You can hear the rumple of paper being moved, pencils sweeping across the paper, tiny voices stretching out a word to spell and the soft, grown up sound of teacher's shoes walking around the pods of desks. I hope we all get to share our work!
