Kindergarten Writers Workshop Curriculum Calendar
This is a sample curriculum calendar for a K-1 writers workshop block. It includes time frames, unit of study titles, and teaching points for each unit. Please note, I taught this curriculum in kindergarten. Therefore, it was originally labeled as "kindergarten." However, it is suitable for both kinder and first grades. (The only change for first grade that I would suggest is to use different topics for the conventions studies to fit your students' needs.)
