Ideas

*Get all your student supplies ready to go. DON'T forget your CD that came with  your series-it has the downloads for each unit. It also has video examples!

*Have carpet or "meeting area" with your teacher supplies ready. (chart paper, markers)

*Set-up your procedures and routines the first day of class for writer's workshop.

*Have a file folder ready for each unit. Throughout the unit save any paperwork, student writings and any text that may work well .
