Dear Susan and all,
After last summer's on line study course I wanted to share 6-Traits =
with
my 5 first grade colleagues. Our principal generously let us meet monthly =
during school time. We met for one hour, from 9-10 am on the first Friday =
of
the month. Aides covered each of our classrooms. We each took
responsibility for one trait and organized our meeting around that trait. =
It
was an introduction to each trait for us and made for lots of good
discussion. We will continue this next year and really start to do more =
in
our classrooms. The study group will expand to our second grade teachers =
as
well. I also hope to attend the NWREL workshop on 6-Traits in Delaware =
this
summer and bring back more info to our group. Thanks for all your efforts =
last summer!

Susan and all,
Since I didn't have a classroom this year I was unable to actually try
anything but have followed all the posts with interest and made a notebook =
of
all the great ideas.
We did have a one day inservice that was given by someone from =
Albuquerque...WAS
NOT IMPRESSED! actually I was very disappointed. I was so excited for =
the
staff to get exposure to six traits and this wasn't really that...just an
overview.
Going to have to do more to get out staff into this. I liked the idea of =
class
level time for discussion and presentations just mentioned by =
dotty...maybe we
could do something with this in conjunction with the SFA component =
meetings.
(Just don't tell SFA!)
Susan, thanks for all your efforts

Our district (Palm Springs) is going to have 2 days of 6 traits training =
in
late August. I think they told me it was through Houghton-Mifflin????
Whatever, it's certainly a big improvement over the complete LACK of a
writing program that we have had! Joanie

Do elaborate on the NWRL>>>(?) conference on six traits this summer in
Delaware. I live near there and would love to attend. Thanks, Ann/5th
