Journal Prompts for the NEW YEAR!

I wanted to make a FREEBIE for you that included some New Year's Writing Prompts!  I love the New Year because it is a great time to reflect and make some "attainable" goals and to get kids writing!  

Writing is a skill that requires daily practice.  These simple journal prompts are designated to help BEGINNING and/or STRUGGLING writers build confidence, practice articulating thoughts, work on fine motor skills and use proper letter formation.  

Included on each journal prompt:

*I Can… statements with text and visual support to remind students to:

-use capital letters

-use finder spacing between words

-sound out and spell words

-use periods

-draw pictures to support their writing

*Illustrated Word Bank to help students spell words and generate ideas for their writing.

*Place to draw a picture to support their writing.

Meet Annie {The Moffatt Girls}

Hi! It is always fun to get to know people more than just a name on a blog.  I hope you have enjoyed getting to know all of the Freebielicous authors a bit more and of course…all the wonderful FREEBIES!  I am so honored to be a part of this collaborative blog and to be able to share some fun resources with all of you!

I'm Annie and I blog at The Moffatt Girls.  Who exactly are the Moffatt Girls?  Well, some people think that I team up with my sister and we blog together as "The Moffatt Girls".  This is not true :)  I have a sister, but she is not a teacher and she doesn't have a blog.

Let me introduce you to the Moffatt Girls...

This is my sweet Audrey who turned 6 in June and is officially in 1st Grade.  Oh my gosh…I LOVE this little girl!  She is super smart, funny and makes me laugh all the time!

This is Sophia, the littlest Moffatt Girl, who just turned 4 in September.  Oh how I love my little Sophia!!  She is spunky, fun and definitely keeps me on my toes!  She doesn't appear on our blog as often as I like, because she has decided that wearing clothes is not her thing ;)

Here is a picture of me…the Moffatt Mommy!  I don't have a lot of pictures of myself, because I am always the one with the camera, taking the pictures :)  This grainy and blurry iPhone picture is not the best picture, but this is me :)

And here is the Moffatt Man!  I LOVE this man to pieces!  He is such a good Daddy to our girls and a wonderful husband!  He prefers to stay OFF of the blog…so please don't tell him I posted this picture of him :)

Yes, I homeschool our girls.  I taught for several years in the classroom and now I have the privilege of homeschooling.  Our days are structured and I still keep lesson plans.  Instead of 36 4th grades, I have 2 little girls :)  I like the student to teacher ratio a LOT better :)  

Now onto the FREEBIE!

Here is a Gingerbread Math and Literacy Packet, which includes the following…

*Color by Sight Word Gingerbread

*Color, cut and paste math word problems
