// **The Dream Keeper** //

One more day! My grade level team met yesterday to flesh out our first weeks of math, writing, and reading workshops. //We talked about choosing mentor and touchstone texts, and this will be an ongoing discussion this year as we work together to solidify our curriculum.//
