Writing

Writing is an essential skill for all students. My students write daily across many subjects. I have prepared students for the writing PSSAs for the past five years.  They write in all genres including poetry, narratives, persuasion, research, and informative. Through the use of writer's workshop, my students are able to thrive and grow as authors.
