It seemed like my writing mini lesson went well, until I was watching all the results. I had to reteach about 1/4th of the class. I had watched this lesson at another school when I was in the BTSA program, and it was actually done with kinder. Of course I did expect more from my 2nd graders. Many of the kids did well. In a few days I'm planning on doing something similar to what I just did. We'll see how that goes.
