9. Reflection:
This lesson went really good. It was a introductory lesson into their writers workshop binders

and they listened very well as this was our last part of the long morning. They followed

directions, they understood what they were using their tools for. There task for actual writing

was to use one tool from their writers workshop notebooks. The kids did great with this they

used their circle maps, their alphabet charts, and their writing topics. We did have 50 mins for

this block but it went by super fast, which kind of shocked me because I thought it was going to

drag on since it was out long morning but it didn’t. So I’m looking forward to doing more writing

instruction with them in the next couple weeks.
