I'm not to keen on that one and do A LOT of tweaking to it. I think I may skip Revision and move on to Authors as Mentors and then come back to Revision. <br /><br />If you click on the 2nd "click HERE" in my original post it'll take you to a post about celebrations where I talk about some of the various ones we do. LOVE 'em!!!!!<br /><br />Holly :)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861143488616582042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805931609283766751.post-52692423479103499422012-01-24T07:11:24.703-05:002012-01-24T07:11:24.703-05:00I am teaching this unit too!

I gave them all purple pens to help with they work with their writing partners. Now they can't wait to revise and get some purple on their papers. But enough about me... I am loving your awards totally going to use them. They came at the perfect time. Also I am love your celebration and the sharing circle. I was wondering how else you celebrate and are you doing the authors as mentors unit next?<br />Jessica<br />Apples and PapersJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14462263404774957943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805931609283766751.post-85052086091479068062012-01-24T05:53:14.857-05:002012-01-24T05:53:14.857-05:00I love the motivators!

You might be able to snag one, because you're right. They are pricey! (I happen to have about 6 never-been-opened unit studies in my room right now, because I've done some professional development for my district on Lucy's resources, and we have extras. I wish I could give one to you.)<br />Tammy<br /><i><b><a href="http://foreverin1st.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Forever in First</a></b></i>Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053983168084838303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805931609283766751.post-41135638658416649022012-01-23T22:26:19.254-05:002012-01-23T22:26:19.254-05:00I just emailed you!!I just emailed you!!Kelley Cirritohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769792425927087593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805931609283766751.post-30601324363956938772012-01-23T22:24:56.219-05:002012-01-23T22:24:56.219-05:00Love!

Our reading program does not have a great writing program so I felt like I needed to find something better. My instructional coach/ BFF used it at her old school and had the program. She co-taught with me for a couple of weeks and now I have it up and going by myself. The kids can't wait to do writers workshop and beg to write longer! I really want my own copy of the program, but it is pricey. My bday is in February so I think I might ask my parents. I am keeping my fingers crossed!!!Kelley Cirritohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769792425927087593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805931609283766751.post-80264883351800517392012-01-23T22:01:39.030-05:002012-01-23T22:01:39.030-05:00I love your certificates to hand out at the end of...I love your certificates to hand out at the end of a unit, such a great idea!<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br /><br />Erin<br /><i><b><a href="http://projectsandpolkadots.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Projects & Polkadots</a></b></i>Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508648233909861157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805931609283766751.post-88095825606618039182012-01-23T21:39:32.649-05:002012-01-23T21:39:32.649-05:00I like your celebration around the circle. I'...I like your celebration around the circle. I'm always looking for new ways to celebrate. Some of my celebrations involve gallery walks. I also like splitting the kids into two parts. Half of the kids spread out around the room while the other half moves around listening to authors and leaving them with a compliment before heading off to another author. Then we switch groups. By the way I love Lucy. I've recently posted about the revision unit and I just posted about the Tiny Topics Notebooks that we make for Authors as Mentors. Love it.<br /><br />Tammy<br /><i><b><a href="http://foreverin1st.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Forever in First</a></b></i>Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053983168084838303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7805931609283766751.post-61453909918303605932012-01-23T21:26:27.233-05:002012-01-23T21:26:27.233-05:00Guest Teacher?

I love the microphone and the cool certificates, it's usually pretty hard for my little ones to get up in front of others I'm always looking for new cool ways of motivating them to do it. Including making a fool of myself using a microphone like that to sing Happy Birthday (I can NOT sing) to them on their birthdays in the most ridiculous voice I can possibly muster up! They love it and I can live with it if it helps them feel better about getting up there themselves!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544618318003774546noreply@blogger.com
