December Writing Journal

There are many holidays that are celebrated in the month of December, not just Christmas. Give students the time to journal about what they are looking forward to this month! The writing process can look different for all ages, a few ideas are:

Kindergarten: Have your students draw a picture, finish a sentence starter, and label their picture.
First Grade: Similar to kindergarten, add an extra step of encouraging your students to add adjectives or a second sentence.
Second Grade: Brainstorm with the students key words they may use in their sentences. Then, provide them with a word bank and a required number of sentences. Once they are finished, ask the students to draw a picture to match their writing.
