For the past 4 days I have had the opportunity to teach a lesson cycle that integrates Science into Literacy while also having a separate block of time for Science as well. While I wish I could take credit for this amazing LDC (Literacy Design Collaborative) module, it was given to all fourth grade teachers by the school district. While I did not create it myself, I did take what they gave me and modified it a little to better fit within my classroom and my students needs.
As this semester draws to a close, I have realized just how much I have learned and been able to put into practice. I believe that Writing is the hardest content area to teach.
Since Writing is a focus for me in the classes I am taking this Fall semester I am so glad I am in 4th grade. Fourth grade is a writing focused year and I am excited to see how things go.
