Whether you have primary or intermediate students, I know the month of February is packed-each with it's own fun, problems, and issues to cover. Writing shouldn't be one of them! I've got you covered! As you know, I've been talking a lot about writing in my classroom lately. I've given up the boxed programs for a more "old school" approach-actually TEACHING in CONTEXT! Imagine that! Anyways, now that January is heading out the door, I want to cover some of the things I plan to do for February. Here we go!
Today I am double posting! I'm over at Conversations From The Classroom talking about how to have fun with STEM and writing through the use of one of my products called Love Bug in a Jar This has always been one of my favorite prompts to write about and I'm sure this year's group won't disappoint! Check out what I'm sharing if you love this idea-I think you will!

If that doesn't fit your needs, I have two other great products for Valentines that just might. Both focus on Valentines but are geared toward text dependent writing prompts. These are designed to provide practice for your students in the area of reading prompts and, then, having to write with source materials in their pieces. These are print and go ready too! One of the things I've done in the past to help cut the copy costs is print the reading pieces on card stock and then laminate them. This way I can use them over and over again!

How about Groundhog's Day! I've got you covered! This great narrative piece will let kids think about how the groundhog would feel being awaken from a sound sleep to be jolted out into the cold world to see what the weather would be for the next six weeks! Is it me or have you ever really thought about the inaccuracy of that! The sun has to be out for the groundhog to see his shadow! Wouldn't that mean spring is on it's way and not more winter! But, it's a fun tradition and that groundhog lives high on the hog-pun intended!

Right after Valentine's Day, we head into President's Day! Students would just LOVE writing about a day with any President of their choice. This can be simply a narrative piece, or, for added bonus, use this document to do some research about a President. Then, students can use that research to create their day with a President! How fun is that!

As February winds up, intermediate students would love to explore the history of snow globes! Students are provided with three pieces to read and examine. Once they gather vocabulary, notes, and ideas about the history of the snow globe, students write about their new knowledge. Then, they get to try their hand at creating their own snow globes! This was is so, so much fun!
You can find this fun project here!
Don't forget that the Winter Games are coming! This product has a little of everything! Students can do a quick research piece on one of the sports they are interested in. Once the mini-research is completed, they craft an informative essay as to why that sport is their favorite! Then, students create a topper to match their choice! These would look great in anyone's hallway or classroom!

So, as you can see, I've got you covered for the month of February in writing! Find them all at my store on TpT!
