Join me live again TONIGHT, November 13, at 8 PM EST, where I'll explain and demonstrate EVERYTHING about day four. This one is all about application!

The focus of the day’s routine is to write a sentence similar to the original, keeping the style and structure the same, and especially to use the focus skill (adjectives).

Let's talk DAY TWO!

We will be talking about why the discussion around how words function matters, and why it shouldn't just be "all about the labels." We'll also talk about how to incorporate the focus skill (using adjectives) into the students' writing.

I had a conference in Orlando so we decided to make it a quick trip to Disney, too! Had to make the hubby take a picture of me with the Ticonderoga pencil in Toy Story Land... only teachers understand. 🤣 ✏️ #ideasbyjivey #teachersfollowteachers
