I have been doing quite a few writing workshops this spring along with all the author presentations. This has been a wonderful experience! I've held workshops for fifth graders all the way down to kindergarteners. The typical day starts with an author presentation for the whole grade together, followed by 1-1.5 hours workshop in each classroom. The students get the opportunity to begin numerous projects and share their starts with their peers. I simply can't believe how excited they get about writing!
I've had teachers tell me that I should be putting together a proposal to be be a presenter at next years MRA conference, so I believe I shall! I've also been told to start preparing presentations for teacher in-service and professional development days... I'm on it!
Long story short, it has been an exciting, productive spring.
Which reminds me, Rex is getting close to finishing R.C. Duck, Private Eye, so look for it before summer is out!
