Starting a writer's workshop in first grade

I came across this idea on Pinterest, where students in grade one can engage in a writers workshop. This will help students develop the necessary writing skills, which will be needed as they move up to the higher grades. When a teacher introduces writing at the early stages, students will develop an interest and motivation to write.

How to start writer's workshop in first grade and develop a love and respect for writing from day one!:

Main Idea

Here are eight  reading passages which are designed for 3rd grade or 4th grade students to read and determine the main idea. This activity can be used to differentiate instruction. 
This reading activity can be used during whole group instruction, guided practice, independent practice, homework, literacy centers, or for assessment. Visit the link below to read more about this wonderful activity.

These 8 reading passages are designed for 3rd grade or 4th grade students to read and determine the main idea.   The practice is leveled so that one set of the reading passages has multiple choice answers, and the other set of task cards are free response (students must decide on the main idea independently).:

keeping track of students writing


Here is an interesting tool that a teacher can use to keep track of students writing as they go along. Hope you find this very useful. To read more about it, visit the website below.

Keeping track of student progress for writing. If you look closely the student's numbers are on the end of the pin. So they move it along.::
