What is the Learning Pad site? Our school just started Writing Workshop (Lucy Calkins). So have seen significant results in the 4th grade. We had 69.2 % score 7 - 12 points in the writing. Usually the students score no more that 5 - 6 points. That's great for our school. Have not achieved that before!
