I think that\u2019s pretty normal for all of us.    You\u2019re likely going to need to review classroom routines and procedures with them anyway, so there is no better time to refresh your writing instruction with them as well.   I want to chat about starting your writing instruction fresh in the New Year. A fresh start is exactly what I want this year. Does that sound good to you too?   Don\u2019t worry about what happened before break because we\u2019re leaving that in the past and taking this opportunity to start fresh.    Here\u2019s to helping your students love writing!   Episode 88 Takeaways:  + Start fresh.  + Focus on procedures.  + Review things that might have been forgotten over the break. + It\u2019s okay to change up things that weren\u2019t working.  + Get input on what\u2019s working and what\u2019s not from your students. + Celebrate good times. + Set writing goals.    I\u2019m super excited to see how your students grow in writing this year.
