In this NEW COURSE, Kim Anh Anderson and I share a new way to connect your cosmically-focused lessons and projects with a writing process that feels natural and develops the students' confidence with writing. With a combined experience of more than 40 years in both elementary I and II classrooms, your guides for this course will share the experiences that led to their discoveries of new ways to enhance and develop a writing process based on students' passions and projects.
