November Writing Prompts for Kindergarten and a Freebie

I love using themed monthly writing and these November Writing Prompts are a no prep, highly engaging resource to use in your kindergarten or first grade classroom. They cover a variety for different skill levels, concepts and writing genres and can be easily used during your writing period to make it a little more exciting or left for a sub.  
November writing prompts that are perfect for a kindergarten classroom.  These engaging prompts work perfectly as a literacy center activity, left for a sub, as homework, morning work or for early finishers.


They begin with simple picture labeling or a "write the room" activity. This is the perfect way to introduce your students to both fall and Thanksgiving themed vocabulary.   
If you reuse these pictures with sight words, they can also be used as a hands on sentence building center activity.  As a teacher, you can extend this activity by having your students copy the sentence that they created and then illustrating it. 
As students progress with their writing or may need extra support in identifying what a complete sentence looks like, students can practice copying sentences that are already created.  Each sentence also contains a picture to make the sentence something they can easily read.  
Students can also create their own sentences with a sentence starter and a word bank for them to pick from and then illustrate a picture to match their sentence.  This helps students to build more confidence as writers.
`          
This is another great way to focus on important kindergarten early writing skills like leaving spaces and using end punctuation as well as illustrating their own picture to match.

In addition, included are Thanksgiving and fall themed picture picture writing prompts, both with pictures labeled and with no labels. 
Using the labeled version gives students confidence to write, instead of worrying about "how do I spell..." Or if students are working out stretching out their words, then the version without labels is perfect for your learners.  These are a fun way to get your students to use their imagination and write about a picture. 
Also included is themed opinion writing that is perfect for students to begin opinion writing and to help introduce students to another genre of writing.  
Lastly, sequence writing is included with pictures.  This is a great way to introduce students to using transition words in writing as well as writing more than one sentence about a topic.  
Overall, this resource includes more has over 60 pages of print and go writing activities that can be used for the whole month of November.
