The Howard-Suamico School District uses a writing program called Units of Study. Students will be immersed in writing units that are aligned with the Common Core State Standards. Throughout the year students will be writing narrative pieces, informational pieces, fairy tales, and opinion pieces.
Each day our writer's workshop will look as follows: -10 minute lesson -20 minutes of writing -5 minute lesson -20 minutes of writing -5 minutes of sharing
At the end of each writing unit, we will have a "author celebration." During our author celebration another class will visit our class to see the student's published writing. After the author celebration, students will bring home all of their pieces from throughout the unit.
