9) Improve my writers workshop time

I love Lorainne from Fabulous 4th Grade Froggies and her linky idea about a Back to School To Do List. This will probably help calm my First Day Jitters!

It can be hard keeping up with blogs, websites, and everything else during the school year. That's probably going to be one of my new resolutions this year as well.
Have a good school year.

Thanks for stopping by my blog š
I've found some of the cutest homework ideas on Pinterest for spelling words. It integrates math and spelling. I want to make homework more meaningful in my classroom as well!

Keeping the classroom library organized is a nightmare. If I only loose 1 or 5 books each year I feel lucky. Where do you get your lessons for your writer's workshop?
