    WHO:  Teachers, Grades K-2

    WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:  

    Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade educators will learn how to implement our A Sentence A Day resource. Instruction includes a weekly guide that establishes meaningful routines in the primary classroom.

    The focus begins in Kindergarten with pencil placement, spacing, and letter formation. The resource then progresses to writing sentences and building powerful vocabulary, alongside grammar and conventions. The 1st and 2nd grade components of A Sentence A Day continue the construction of strong sentences while emphasizing parts of speech, grammar, and conventions.

    Each week of instruction includes a theme, helping students begin to build story awareness.

    This professional development course will also include connections to the Getting to Write resources for Kindergarten and 1st grade, as well as genre-specific writing resources for 2nd grade.

    Our digital A Sentence A Day resource—available in the HUB—includes bonus content in the form of daily PowerPoint presentations, which will be shared throughout the workshop.
