I felt I lost them (and also any kids who just didn't *love* writing) not really in the whole-group instruction time, but mainly in the independent writing time. The thought finally occurred to me, why not try a similar structure in Writer's Workshop? So, Writing Groups was born:Ĭlick the picture to be taken to the chevron signs in my TpT Store.īecause I have learned that I am the type of teacher who loves small groups over whole-group, I decided to give it a go with this year's class, especially since it is 2/3 boys and I typically lost my boys the most during Writer's Workshop time. If you have been following my blog for a while, you know that I love and adore the Daily 5 model in reading and Math Rotations in math.

For more info, please refer to our disclosure statement.I have been excited to share this ever since the idea popped into my head late last year, but I wanted to give it some time to trial (and error!) in my room first )

In the episode, Julie and I will cover what it takes to create an enchanting home, the magic of an open art table, making amazing memories with your kids, what that looks like when you have middle-schoolers and teens, and more. I was not homeschooled as a child, but my mom was definitely one who created all kinds of imaginative fun for us. The Brave Learner is written as a guidebook for homeschool families, but this episode is for every mom that wants to create enchantment for her child. In this episode, we’re talking about creating an enchanting home–the whole plot behind being a brave learner–and why it’s so important to create that magic at home. Today I get to talk with one of my favorite people, Julie Bogart, and her brand new book, The Brave Learner.
