With the shift in so many state standards, our time spent writing each day needs to be intentional. I know that if there was one thing you all need more of it is time, and we understand! You will find that February's lessons can be integrated into science or social studies to help save time in your reading/writing block.
Enjoy and be sure to share some samples on my FB page, Love to Write and Read All-Day. And... stay tuned for more samples from my school as we finish up our February lessons!
