5 Minutes to Write! Improving Writing Stamina - A Completed Work!

Are Your Students Writing?  

Could 5 Minutes of Writing A Day Make a Difference?
Well the school year is well under way for me and my third graders.  We are now 3 weeks into the school year and I am positive about the school year and implementing one of my summer goals.
Over the summer I wanted to compile my 5 minute writing topics that I worked on for an entire year into a friendly and inexpensive format for teachers.  I completed my 1st edition of 5 Minutes to WRITE! Improving Writing Stamina.
I am fortunate to work with a team of colleagues who are open to new ideas and so far my grade level is using it daily.  I am sure that I will have some mixed reports and some things that I could improve upon, but the most important thing is that it is making a difference with the students in my class.
It is already on TPT (Teachers Pay Teachers), and I also included a free download of the first 3 weeks, which includes the how to and classroom management along with 16 prompts.  Here is the link if you want to give it a try.  
In the future my plans are to continuing blogging ideas about 5 minute writing, 5 Minutes to WRITE!, and to answer questions.  
Thanks for reading!
