Is there a CAFE board for writing? How do you display your writing strategies?
Update: Due to the popularity of this post and Suzanne Rea's answer below, we created an updated thread. Please use the updated thread to request a copy of Suzanne's CORE menu. Updated thread: CORE Writing Menu. We will be removing posts below that contain email addresses.
Thank you! —The Daily CAFE Team, November 12, 2019
Hi Suzanne,
Thank you for sharing your grade 1 writing rubric. Would you share it with me?
[email protected]
Sending it your way right now. Let me know what you think, or how you might improve upon it. We’re always looking for ways to make it better!!
Ahh…I knew if I scoured the Discussion Boards I would find something that addressed writing strategies! And of course from @srea. Would you mind sharing the writing menu? Thank you!

:), I’m more than happy to share, and will send it your way right now. Let me know what you think of it–we’re always looking for ways to improve it.
Can I please get a copy of the 2nd grade writing strategies? [email protected]
Thanks!
Srea I feel a bit bad asking if you would mind sending me a copy of your grade one CAFE / CORE menu so I can see and maybe adapt to my littlies because you have been so incredibly generous sending it to so many people. If you are still happy to share could you please send to [email protected]
Thank you for your generosity. This is all knew to me so taking it step by step.
Thanks
Karen
I’m happy to share, as so many have shared other great ideas with me :). And, to think it’s going to New Zealand is exciting!! Wish I could, too :). I’ll send it through your email in just a bit.
I am teaching third grade, but if you don’t have a third grade rubric, your lower grade rubric will be a great start for me. [email protected]
Thank you for your years of generosity!
I will send it to you soon. It really is just designed for 1st and 2nd grades, but you could easily adapt it. Let me know how you like it.
I would love a copy of your writing rubric; I am teaching second grade this year. My email address is [email protected].
Thank you!
This looks like a great resource. Would you be willing to send it to me? My email address is [email protected].
Thank you so much!
Could I get a copy please? Thanks for sharing - need all the writing resources I can get!

To everyone who has asked for the writing menus, note the following:
“Please note that the writing menus shared here are adapted from the CAFE menu © Boushey and Moser.”
We all want to make sure that we are giving credit to the Sisters for all their work. I have added this notation to the bottom of my menus. In the future if I share them with you, this will be added. If you received them earlier, please be sure to note this on your copies.
Thanks for understanding.
Suzanne
I will send them your way. You’ll see how we put them into the CAFE format. (Note the acknowledgement at the bottom of them.) These are designed for first and second grades, but could be easily adapted for your grade level with your standards.
I am new to second grade this year. Could you please send me a copy?
My address is [email protected]
I just sent them your way. Please note the statement at the bottom, stating that this format is adapted from the CAFE menu:copyright: , Boushey and Moser.
I will send it to you soon. Remember, this is a writing menu teachers at my campus designed, using the CAFE menu and our state standards as our guide.
This looks fantastic! If you are willing to share, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks so much! [email protected]
Oh course not! I’ll send them your way in a few minutes :). Let me know what you think–we’re always striving to improve upon them.
Thank you so much! I teach third grade but these rubrics do help me so much. Thank you for sharing!

Hi,
If you could send me a copy of your 1/2 writing menu, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Srea, I also teach first grade and would love a copy of the CORE menu for writing that you use. Please send me a copy. It would be so appreciated. [email protected]
