Groundhog's Day Writing Freebie

With Groundhog's Day just a week away, I wanted to share a freebie I created! 

I love writing and I love teaching writing. They're truly passions of mine. Helping a kiddo write something they're excited about is one of the best feelings! My hope is that all students (and teachers!) find writing time to be fun and manageable. Nobody enjoys taking a writing test. Being forced to write something you don't care about? EW! But being able to write "on demand" is a skill that serves a viable purpose. We have to write on demand all the time! That e-mail sitting in your invoice waiting for you to respond? That's writing on demand! 

I firmly believe that a writing curriculum followed by a systematic on demand writing environment will vastly improve student's writing skills and writing enjoyment.

In this freebie, you'll find 1 passage and 1 writing prompt, relating to that passage! It's great for homework, small group work, or just extra practice during writer's workshop! Enjoy!

Monday Letters // Groundhog's Day Edition

It's Monday! Welcome back! How was your weekend?

Dear teachers, tomorrow is GROUNDHOG DAY! And if you're like me and had no idea until today, then you're needing some resources. Check out these cheap or FREE resources (here, here, and here) I love!

Dear educators, are you discussing growth mindset with your colleagues and students? It's a great way to get your students thinking about their learning. And Class Dojo has a stress free way to incorporate it into your classroom and conversations! And it pairs nicely with this product in my store.

Dear friends, you make life definitely more interesting. We had a blast kayaking, cornhole playing, and eating. So much eating. I just wish I could get more sleep! Bear and I are already looking forward to this coming (quiet) weekend!

Dear Two Writing Teachers, I loooooooove your blog. And am stoked for this new mini series that's coming this week! Be sure you stop by!
