Partner Power!

Since returning from winter break our new focus in writing has been on writing partnerships.  We have been exploring the power of working with others to increase stamina, motivation, and growth in reading and math and are now bringing the excitement to writing.  We will be using partners to help us before and after we write, initially, with the hope that the children will eventually extending their partnerships into a coaching model by the end of the year.  I am so impressed with the way the children communicate their ideas and synergize to help each other create wonderful story ideas and detailed pictures.
