[MOSAIC] writing programs

[Melissa Kile]

Our school has been very pleased with Lucy Calkins' Units of Study. Every
classroom teacher has either the K-2 set or the 3-5 set. Our Literacy Lab
assistant (computer lab) also has a set, and the reading teachers share a
set. I believe our special ed. dept also has a set of each.

This is my 3rd year using it (2 yrs in K, 1 in 2nd grade). The 2nd graders
are rocking!! Most of them have been in classrooms where teachers taught
Units of Study, and the rest have at least 1 year. They were totally ready
to roll in September. I have been awed and amazed at their writing. It makes
me laugh and cry--their "voices" really come through.
