We are anxious to start a brand new writing program at Merton this year called Writer's Workshop. Each day we will spend a short amount of time gathered on the carpeting to begin our writing class, called a Mini-lesson. Once we have had our instruction on a particuliar skill, the students will be writing on their own. During this writing time, I will be conferencing with them to help them with their work. Most of the work will not always be edited as they publish their work throughout this year. We are very optimistic that this will be a great year to see our students grow in the writing process.
