Now that we have POW nicely underway, it’s time to turn our attention to ER. Our grade 3/4 and 4/5 classes are learning what it means to edit and revise using strategies from @thinkSRSD ! @CBVRCE_NS @JennEllenGreen @lclareduggan @drobson19

Our grade 1/2 class wanted to show our grade 4/5 class that they can do @thinkSRSD too! Nice to see budding writers so proud to share their work. @JennEllenGreen @lclareduggan @CBVRCE_NS @drobson19
