Yesterday was an "F" day at my school so I took Dr. Schneider's advice and did a publishing party. The kids sat in two groups and read their writing with their peers. It was awesome and I heard the kids say that they loved it too. We are always going to do that on "F" days - what a great management idea. I always struggled with trying to fit in the reading piece to writers workshop and this worked great. Thanks for the idea Dr. S!!!!!

"F" means that is was the last day of a 6 day cycle - not a way to describe a really bad day!!!!!
Where I taught before coming back to ISU had the 6 day cycle too! I always left that 6th day for author sharing and I found students loved the break from writing and really enjoyed sharing their stories and hearing the stories of others --- great modeling as well!
