As someone with no formal teaching education, I love seeing how teachers teach. It's so instructive. Thank you for sharing your process with us!

🌟 I used The Ocean’s Heart: The Tiny Creatures Essential to Life as one of our mentor texts.

What a wonderful opportunity for both you and the students! I haven't done anything in person since I moved and I miss being in the classroom connecting with children.

Sounds like a great experience, Joyce! My nephews went to a Montessori school. :) Giving writers space while protecting their creativity is so important. Those W.O.W. notes sound like a wonderful way to encourage curiosity and thinking. ✨
