Writer's Workshop

Who else uses Lucy Calkins' Units of for Primary Writing: A Yearlong Curriculum?
I haven't had any training on it and I'm the only one at my school doing it.  I could use an online support group!   I purchased the program last year but struggled with implementing it.  I started out strong and kind of fizzled out.


So if you have any tips, ideas, or anything to help let me know!  :)

That is the BEST thing I have ever gotten and has shaped my writing with young children. You will love that entire program and it is easy to use.

I have it in my house now and have not even cracked it open! Keep me posted. Maybe we can get each other through it.

I've posted about it a few times although I think you have already read and commented on my posts. If you have questions feel free to email me and I will answer the best that I can.

I use this with my 5th graders, modified of course :0) I also used it when I taught 2nd grade. I LOVE it! It is so easy to follow, I never was trained on it. I would recommend for the first year following the books in order and doing most, if not all of the lessons. From there I made modifications and adjustments for future years, and each year I omit or emphasize different lessons/units based on my class that year.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!
