Now, on to the freebie...
This is May's Writing Prompt Menu that I use with my first graders. They helped me with this month's prompts.
Each month, I introduce the new menu with my students, and we read each prompt. We do a few together before they are expected to use it independently. I make a few copies, laminate them and place them in the Writing Station. During Daily 5, when they choose to write, students are encouraged to use the prompt menu. When I first tried using these menus a few months ago, I was amazed at how many students used them. I was also floored by the amount of writing they did! A simple change to the Writing Station made a world of difference. If you want this writing prompt menu, just click on the image below. It's that simple!
How do/would you use a prompt menu?
