Writing in Action!📝

Mrs. Lewis’s class is putting The Writing Revolution into practice! Students are strengthening their writing skills through text-dependent writing, using evidence from the text to support their thinking and communicate their ideas clearly.

We love seeing our Falcons dig deeper into their reading and turn their thinking into strong, purposeful writing!💙
