"Putting children at the center of their learning."

Happy April everyone!
This month and next month, we will take a little dive into writing instruction. Dana and I believe teaching writing and supporting student writers may be one of the most constructivist processes of all that we teach. You’ll see some teacher questions about writing and get lots of ideas for mentor texts.
Onward with writing,
Krista and Dana
