April 18th UWP Conference

It was beyond a doubt, refreshing to collaborate with other educators on Saturday. The “Drawing Your Way to Writing” presentation provided us the opportunity to make and take strategies back to our school. The calm music really helped me to concentrate on my scenic Forty Acre Rock illustration and writing. I am convinced that children need a relaxing tune to alleviate the pressure of writing.
During our mentoring section with Dawn, I was able to brainstorm various ideas about my demo writing lesson. Hopefully, I will have a plan in place for our next gathering.
The Reading a Book in an Hour strategy was a great way for us to review valuable information through several group presentations. Gratefully, we will be using this approach again this summer.
