Writing in the Fall - Writing Center Starters with Topics Cards Bundle!

Happy Monday everyone!  Phew!!  I finally finished just in time for Fall.  

A few weeks ago I wanted to give you a freebie and a small sneak peek at my Writing Center Starter Topics!  It is a great resource for writing centers.  Simply print, laminate and cut and your set for a lifetime with this for September centers!  I wanted you to have an idea what my Writing in the Fall Bundle would look like.  

I am so happy so many of you liked my freebie!  I have been getting so many sweet emails on how your little ones enjoyed themselves.  And yes to help you with the fall I have a huge writing bundle to have you set for the next few months.  

This packet includes September-November and EACH month has 30 writing starter questions and ideas with a bonus 24 topic cards for your little ones who have a wild imagination and just want an idea.  Every month is themed to what is happing during that month.  I have also included tons of different writing printables for your little ones to jot down their stories, ideas and drawings.  It has primary and secondary lines for the little ones and the growing ones!  Here are some snippets of what's inside for this month!




Here's what it looks like with book rings...





My little ones used them today and loved it!  They had a blast writing about Frankenstein. LOL


Here are some peeks at whats in this bundle.









The topics section just has an idea for the little ones to write about in their own words.





I have also included some themed printables that would really go great with these starters and topic cards!









Writing Starters and Topic Cards that are included in this bundle are:

There are so many more writing starters and topic ideas!  This is just a general idea of what is included in each month.  

This bundle includes:

*each month has 30 writing starter cards 
*24 topic cards (each)
*7 writing prompts (each) primary & secondary lines
*directions on how to put together using pictures and book rings

If your like me, fabulous and somewhat organized, than this bundle is just what you need for your writing centers. Just simply print, cut and laminate and toss in the writing center for the whole month.  When your done toss in the new month!  Simple.  I used it today and my little ones loved it and were so excited to write about what they wanted!

This  writing bundle would be great for 1st-4th graders. The starters and topics are all set for the little ones to write one or two sentences and for the bigger kids to write a story!

I will be leaving this on sale for the next few days!

Writing Center Starter Topics - September Freebie!

Hey all !  Happy Tuesday!  

 I want to share a freebie with you!  I have been working on a FULL writing center packet lately and thought it would be nice to share my first one with you all for free. 
YAY!!

  This is a small.. and I mean small glimpse of what I will be including in my future writing packets to come. Next one is coming up in a few weeks for October. =)

September is full of fun things!  There are holidays like Grandparents Day, Labor Day, Fall, Johnny Appleseed and if your like me, your finally back at school.  I tried to have a lot of different variety of writing cards for the little ones to be excited to write about.


Isn't is so darn cute and easy to use?  I used book rings to hold it all together.  It was so easy.


Here are some prompt cards included.






These writing cards are appropriate for 1st-2nd.  I think the little ones will love flipping through the cards during center time and decide which topic to write about.





Here are some writing printables I added as well.



I included 2 different kinds (each have primary and secondary lines)




The way to create these writing centers is easy.

*cut and laminate the cards for future use
*using a hole punch, punch the top left part of the card.
*put all cards together using a book ring.
*have kids flip through them to decide which topic to write about during center time.
*write


This freebie includes:
*35 writing topic cards to choose from
*4 writing prompts (primary * secondary lines)
*directions and pictures to set up the center

Now in the beginning of the year some of my little ones struggle with writing.  That is totally fine.  I plan on having them try their best with writing and just work on their drawing to explain what they are trying to say.  Slow and steady wins the race and within time they will build the confidence to write more and more.

It's so easy to make and will last a very long time.  You can put this in your September bin and take it out every year for the month and your writing center is set.  Ahh I love the sound of that!!

Do you like what you see?  Click here to grab it for free.  Please let me know what you think.  I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on it.  I am so excited to share my next writing pack with you so stay tuned!

I have also been recreating my products!  I will be sharing my new  (updated)products with you this week:

Christopher Columbus
