One of my kids' favorite independent writing prompts is from Mr. L's classroom on TpT. It's called "Finish the Picture" and is just like it sounds. Each page has a couple shapes or lines that the students turn into something, then write about it. My kindergartners get so excited about it and usually end up putting their completed work in their Leadership Notebooks.
March Kindergarten Journals
Our March journals bring out our creative writing. Each day, I show the kids a picture and give them a story starter. Then they finish the story. They have some hilarious ideas. Here is one of our first stories of the month...
St. Patrick's Day Easy Craft
This craft was fun and easy. Each piece is a peel off sticker. My kindergartners were able to assemble their unique magnet using the directions provided. I printed St. Patrick's Day coloring sheets for early finishers to color or paint.
I ordered these in August. I planned out a few crafts to do throughout the year when I had the time and mental energy. If I wait until it's close to the holiday, I run out of time or forget to order.
