Hi there, I don't know my schedule yet either fully - glad to know I am not the only one! :) I notice you have a nice big block of time for writer's workshop - do you have certain curriculum or a model that you use? How much of the time is for mini-lessons or just writing time?
ReplyDeleteHi again! I do a lot of writing in my day. We do have a curriculum that we follow. It's by Learning Headquarters. If you are interested, you definitely need to attend the training so the manual and techniques make sense. I use that and my own writing program (check it out in my TpT store if you are interested). To answer your question about the mini-lesson time, it varies depending on the topic and what skills my kids need but I try to keep the mini-lessons short and sweet so that we have a longer time to write.
