So, this week I started back to school, well kind of. I took some optional training about implementing Reader's/Writer's workshop in my classroom. Last year, with the help of my mentor/teaching partner, I did the workshop model, but never had any formal training.
Here are some feelings I am having:
-I LOVE the workshop model, it really is fabulous.
-It's going to be very expensive to implement this. I need book tubs, post-its, notebooks, tabs, and much more. This will all have to come out of pocket. YIKES.
-I don't get paid again until Sept, therefore coming up with the money is going to be a challenge.
-It's a lot of work, but I am ready to dive right in. (Ask me in January if I am dragging yet)
-I am still trying to figure out the scheduling aspect of it in terms of what it will look like in my daily schedule.
And last but not least,
My brain is overflowing with ideas, tips, and questions that I am really unsure of where to start. So this school year, follow my workshop journey as I adventure through the process.
Have any tips, tricks, or fabulous websites?! I will take all the help I can get.
