Sometimes the higher student doesn't get as much attention because we focus so heavily on bringing up our lower students. Writer's Workshop is a great way to differentiate and get the most out of everyone! <br />Lori<br /><b><a href="http://conversationsinliteracy.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Conversations in Literacy</a></b>Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14511344892381128298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605926763598675958.post-23516411764841284252014-01-11T09:04:29.387-08:002014-01-11T09:04:29.387-08:00Happy 100, Tammy!!!

They always give me great food for thought. <br /><br />I have one or two parents of high kids come to my room for that discussion during the first week of school every year. I'm getting better about being ready for the discussion, but I must admit that sometimes I audibly sigh. (Bad habit.) Part of the problem is that I can't start to do differentiated groups or individual conferring until the kids are trained in independent behaviors, so they worry that the whole-class lessons are going to be what first grade is all about. I wish I had a time machine and could whisk them ahead six weeks into the future when differentiation really starts to happen ... Maybe I'll take a cue from you and collect writing workshop samples this year as visual aids for the different types of work kids will be engaged in at the same time.Lee Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358905438289255108noreply@blogger.com
