Writing checklist

Happy February! Time for Pawsitively Teaching and Inspired Owl's Corner Pick 3 Linky! Here are my top three pins that I'll use in the classroom this month.

This year, my school set a goal to improve in writing. I will admit, while I love doing writing activities with my class, I am definitely not an expert when it comes to teaching writing. I think that's because we don't have to take standardized writing tests in second grade, so I've never stressed about it too much. I have my kids write in their journals each day, but it's more just for leisure as it's not graded. And while we do write stories and stuff, it's just never been the biggest…

In today's post, I'm sharing the strategies that I use when my students don't write enough.
