Yes! I am back. I can't give this blog up yet. I am determined to post things on a more regular basis.
In my county, we use the Units of Study-Lucy Calkins to deliver our Reading and Writing instruction. We have been trained for countless hours by the experts involved in the TCRWP. I have found some awesome detailed plans for those just started out which correlate with the Common Core Standards and they are free! I LIKE FREE!!!
