firstgradecce - Writing - Persuasive
Resources for teaching lessons on Persuasive Writing: In Tony Stead's Is That a Fact ? he includes a chapter on "Persuasive Writing," p 163-186. Second Grade Writers by Stephanie Parsons has a unit on persuasive writing, "Writing for Change," page 46-72. This blogpost (written outside of Chets Creek), suggests some ways to think through this unit before starting. These 15 persuasive writing lessons, written in Lucy Calkin's 4-part mini-lesson format, were written collaboratively by first grade teachers at Chets Creek.Adding Double Number Sets Worksheets

I remember trying to plan my first day of school my first year teaching, so the kids show up at 8:00am AND……crickets. How do you start the first day?! There are so many things that the kids need to know and according to Harry Wong I had a lot of procedures to teach.
