I love all the different strategies in this book. I think in my first year this would really help me feel like I have more guidance and am not just "thrown to the wolves." I know exactly where it is in Barnes and Nobles and have it on my birthday wish list! I would also like the writing strategies book by her.

Dear Professor Pankratz,
I've never gotten a note like this in college before. As an aspiring teacher, these notes mean everything and I'm sure in the first year of teaching I'll look at it a lot.
I know I was very opinionated right off the bat and I appreciate that you took the time to hear me out and consider my feedback. I was very happy to be in a classroom environment where my work and voice was valued.
Thanks for a great 8 weeks and for going above and beyond by creating a FORT study guide. I will absolutely be using it.
Be sure to take your own advice... give yourself grace :) You did a great job, especially for being thrown into it last minute.
-Jamie Stanislawski

I really like having a format for writing workshop. Sometimes, with all the emphasis on choice, it feels like there is not a lot of room for structure. I like seeing that we can still have structure and provide choice at the same time.

This week made me reflect on what my teachers did during writing workshop. They played classical music (which put me to sleep). As an adult, I like to listen to Lofi instrumental playlists when I’m working and I think other students might like this too! *Please note I have not listened to this specific playlist, it’s just an example.*

I love how sweet this activity was. It was such a great way to promote a positive mindset as we work on our final projects. I would absolutely do this activity in my own classroom.

I also liked the circle activity. Sometimes I don’t think teachers really sit and read through everything so it was nice to see all of our concerns addressed directly as these were concerns we all shared.

I think it was really cute that it was our last day of classes and this was the book you assigned. I appreciate the thought that went into this :)

The shool year is coming to an end, and everyone at Albert E. Chapman Elementary School is counting down, including Mrs. Mallory's third grade class. In the last weeks of school there is much to be done, from putting away supplies to cleaning out desks to finding a summer home for the class pet, Rhoda.
Now -- finally -- the last day is here! Matthew Perez, one of Mrs. Mallory's students, has a perfect good-bye gift for his teacher, and he can't wait to give it to her. But when is the right time? Not in the morning when other kids are giving their gifts. Not during the Last Day fun of kickball and ice-cream treats. Will Matt get his chance before the school day is over?
The last Day of School will resonate with all children who know the excitement, energy, and bittersweet emotions that the final days of a school year bring.
