Back to School Writing Lessons for Starting Writer’s Workshop 1st & 2nd Grade

Description

Kickstart your Writer’s Workshop with these ready-to-print Writing Lessons for the Beginning of the Year! Tailored for 1st and 2nd graders, these engaging lessons help build foundational writing skills and inspire young writers. The explicit writing instruction, mentor texts, and sharing writing create a strong writing structure in your classroom

My goals for the first few weeks of our writing together include…

• give students hands-on experiences to write about
• show that everyone is a writer
• provide scaffolds that allow everyone to be successful
• eliminate writing fear
• foster an environment where students feel safe to share their writing
• build basic writing skills that will carry-over to writer’s workshop

The resources and mini-lessons in this download are intended to be pre-Writer’s Workshop in 1st grade, building a strong writing foundation for all of your students. Included in this resource…
