“But teacher, I don’t know what to write about!”
How many times a day do you hear that?! For me, at least 23 times… the same number of students in my class 😉 It can certainly make any writing period frustrating, for both me and my littles. So, I knew I had to come up with something!
And then the lightbulb went off… Writing topic cards! With word banks! Once I got started, I just couldn’t stop. I created over 100 topic cards across 11 categories {myself, people, places, animals, snacks, sports, travel/transportation, holidays, make-believe, school, and seasons & weather}.
Here’s a look at one of the topics under the “Seasons & Weather” category:
I designed the cards so that they could be easily organized on binder rings. I included tiny circles in the template so when you punch, the holes will all be even! 😉 The category title cards also have little tabs so you can quickly flip around. ALL of the cards fit on jumbo binder rings {as seen in the photos above}, but if you want to make smaller sets…
…just separate them on mini binder rings! I snipped off the tabs for the individual sets, but you could certainly leave them on! Another look at six of the sets in my writing center:
If they pick a different card each day, my firsties can write about something NEW for over 100 DAYS! What?!! So far, my kiddos are *LOVING* it… and so am I!!!!
And here’s another fun look at my writing center!
Of course I had to share the love with my fellow teachers! I bundled all of the cards together in one set for your classroom! Writing Topic Cards {PLUS Vocab}!
