I just want to thank everyone for contributing to such a wonderful and insightful three weeks. As we all prepare to go back into our classrooms and unpack everything, including the boxes we packed away in June, I just wanted to share a web site that is offering a free reading kit for your classroom. It is as follows:

May we all have GREAT starts to our school year.

setting up my classroom tomorrow!
Hi Everybody!
After an exhausting weekend, I'm looking forward to entering my new domain, of my classroom tomorrow, armed with the thousands of ideas I got from PhilWP and from you guys over the last 3 weeks. FYI, I found a set of Writing Workshop posters at AC Moore on sale for $5 over the weekend. I plan to teach my kids the steps and skills for each part of the process and to have them move their name cards along the wall as they progress through each step. I may also do the charting shown in the article by the first grade teacher that we read 2 weeks ago.
For those of you who are starting PD at your schools this week, hopefully you can be positive parts of that community experience and bring some of your PhilWP expertise into the mix of your staff!
Hasta Pronto!

Thank You PhilWP!
I just wanted to say how much I appreciated being a part of the Philadelphia writing project. I have learned a great deal. The facilitators, presentors, and the wonderful teachers that I got to spend a part of my summer with were engaging and extremely knowledgable and kind people. The readings were relevant and helpful to my pedagogy and practice. I will keep them for reference in the future as I am sure they will be helpful. All of the CI projects were informative and useful to my classroom practice. It seems like we crammed so much into three week and the time went quickly. I am so glad that I had the chance to be teamed up with such terrific professionals.
