Does the handbook and the pre written lesson come with the kit or is that something you have to purchase separately?

I felt like I was meeting a celebrity! Such an amazing experience. As a result, my school purchased her newest, more grade level specific U of S. So no more k-2, but Kindergarten specific! Truly amazing! This is my 3rd year implementing and my first year implementing after being trained. My kids LOVE writers workshop time, they cheer when I say it's time for it. Music to a teacher's ears :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296707562498512297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003220908232517497.post-37217811489782543492013-08-21T18:17:36.243-05:002013-08-21T18:17:36.243-05:00Lucy calkins is amazing.

One bit of advice I have for those of u who mentioned not being able to afford them is to buy individual books used through amazon. My favorite being small moments and poetry. I discovered this when I lent one of my books out and needed a replacement. I got it used for $20 or $30. Worth the investment.---------------------------------https://www.blogger.com/profile/08539294292692787784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003220908232517497.post-75600728699169717442013-04-20T18:35:17.549-05:002013-04-20T18:35:17.549-05:00I am sorry I don't have all that information n...I am sorry I don't have all that information now, but I can tell you that each box set has 5 or 6 books plus one CD. Also one box set is for K, 1, & 2 and the other is recommended for 3, 4, 5. At least it is what I have heard.

I can't enlarge them to read the titles better. I've been researching prices for the used books both separately and as sets and I think I'm starting to get confused between different editions. If you have a list of the titles in each set and publishing dates and ISBN numbers, that would be SO helpful! I'm trying to figure out if the ISBN numbers are different for each book, or the entire set, etc. Can't wait to try them out! love2learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669518128828877386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003220908232517497.post-78265416628282901012013-02-28T01:11:21.865-06:002013-02-28T01:11:21.865-06:00I love lucy calkins and have been implementing it ...I love lucy calkins and have been implementing it for 5 years now very successfully.

I love it because it is developmental and recognizes the importance of drawing to help a child structure their thinking. Thinking maps are more than just graphic organizers since they can be used with linguistic patterns to build a child's vocabulary. Our kids are ELL's and this really scaffolds their learning.They have an opportunity to do all kinds of writing I might not have tried in previous years-response to literature, personal narrative, and expository writing.<br />Fran@kindergarten crayons.blogspot.comFran Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467109929924206534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003220908232517497.post-32232029492417627622011-04-17T17:05:34.873-05:002011-04-17T17:05:34.873-05:00Your welcome. :)

Haha! It's really expensive, but I felt like it was a worthwhile investment in my classroom. Especially considering that my district doesn't have a core writing program. <br /><br />I absolutely love Units of Study. It has changed the way I approach writing, and although it's been difficult at times (without another teacher in the building to bounce thoughts off of), my students have become brilliant writers year after year. I will be presenting at a workshop for my county in June, so I'm in the process of getting information together for that. When I do, I'll post about it! <br /><br />Amanda<br />http://www.oneextradegree.blogspot.comAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774560099319488798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003220908232517497.post-44407257420491013622011-04-16T01:57:42.201-05:002011-04-16T01:57:42.201-05:00Wow, this was awesome of you to share!
