Small Moments Lucy Calkins Writing Workshop

I love writing workshop and I have enjoyed using the Lucy Calkins Small Moments unit to start the first grade writing workshop. Planning writing using this program has impacted how much I enjoy teaching writing and my students love writing workshop. 


 Lesson plans for Small Moments by Lucy Calkins


This is a collection of editable first grade lesson plan starters for quick reference or for your lesson plan binder based on Lucy Calkins- Common Core Writing Workshop 2013. This resource from LC is amazing and should be read before using these lesson plans so you can edit them for your team/class/school. These plans do not replace the resource and you will miss all of the professional development if you rely on these lesson plans. Most of it will not make sense unless you read the session first from the LC resource. I love teaching writing and have spent many years trying to help other teachers love it too with my lesson plans. LC’s resource says all the things I’d want other teachers to know. These plans just save you some time when it comes to having to turn in plans and get you started so you can write your own minilessons! The most important page in here is the editable template that you can fill in after you read each session and when you want to make your own teaching points. 
Included:
Editable writing workshop template, launching lessons to set up writing workshop or to use all year, editable lesson outlines for Unit 1 Bend 1-4 , grammar lessons for writing workshop, editable conferencing Avery labels, rubrics, and resources for some of the sessions with links.
