Implementing Writer's Workshop in the Classroom Four years ago I began using something called Writer's Workshop in my classroom. I wasn't exactly sure what it was, but it was a huge buzzword around the school and county I teach in.
Berrien County's boundaries were set off by an act of the legislature of the Michigan Territory on October 29, 1829, with its present limits, but it was initially attached as Niles Township to Cass County for administrative purposes. In 1831 Berrien County was detached from Cass County.
Sparta Township is in northern Kent County, Michigan. We are conveniently located 15 minutes north of Grand Rapids and 30 minutes from the Lake Michigan shoreline. The west half of the township is on the âRidgeâ, a prime fruit-growing area, with many acres of beautiful orchards. At the center is the Village of Sparta, a thriving small town.
