Christmas Power-Up! Writing Prompts to Practice Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling
By Agee and Row Classical Music Appreciation
When it comes to writing, suggesting prompts can be extremely helpful for students. By providing a prompt, you can give students a specific topic or area to focus on, which can help them better organize their thoughts and ideas. Additionally, writing prompts can help spark creativity and encourage students to think outside the box.
There are six Christmas-themed writing prompts, with coordinating primary handwriting pages included. Students can also illustrate a scene in the space above their writing.
Not only will using writing prompts help get your students excited about writing, but it will also help them to practice and improve their skills. By focusing on specific areas such as grammar, punctuation, and spelling, your students will hone their technique and produce well-written pieces of work. They’ll also be able to develop their unique voice and style – something essential for any writer!

French Christmas Sentence Building Cards-Writing and Phonics-Écriture de Noël
By La trousse de Madame
Students delight in creating unique and funny sentence patterns using a 1-2-3 step strategy. Students use cards marked ’1’ to choose the subject of their sentence, cards with ‘2’ are the action words, and cards with location words are tagged ‘3’. Put together the subject, verb, and location cards and make a new sentence each time. Teaching writing in your Grade 1-3 French Immersion class has never been easier.
What to do:
Make a class set of the cards, laminate, and cut.
Place a few copies of the 1-2-3 writing template sheet into clear pockets or give students an individual worksheet to work on.
Watch students delight in creating new and unique sentences as they build confidence in their French writing skills.
Vocabulary included: La Mère Noël, Le Père Noël, Le garçon, La fille, Le renne, Le nain, descend, porte, vole, place, grimpe, mange, une boule, un ange, un cadeau, un sac de jouets, un bas, une étoile, un biscuit, un pain d’épice, une canne de Noël, une chandelle, un chocolat chaud, des lumières, dans la cheminée, dans le bas, dans le ciel, dans le traineau, dans le foyer, dans l’arbre
How to prepare this resource:
Make a few copies of the template page, insert into clear pockets, dry erase pocket, or use as individual worksheets and watch as the giggles get started. Make a copy of the story cards, laminate, and cut. My students LOVE these activities. I cannot make them fast enough.
There is a little cutting and laminating involved with this activity but many use clear folders to make your job easier!
Perfect for a sub binder, emergency plans, or as a back up activity when you happen to have a few minutes to spare. A great set to have on hand as an extra centre activity at Xmas time. Your K-3 Immersion students will love them!
When to use this resource in the classroom:
These activity sheets are Christmas themed and can be used for the entire month of December and even into the week following Halloween. Students love using them and they can be helpful for follow-up assessment. Just in time for progress reporting period!
I hope your students enjoy learning their vowel sounds and exploring phonemic awareness with a Christmas Theme!
Appropriate audience:
I use these activities in my French Immersion classroom with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students. I feel confident that they could be used for any grade from Grade One to Grade Three.

Write Your Own Story - Illustrated for you! #3
By Z is for Zebra
Do your students ever wish to write their own creative story to existing images? With the Write Your Own Stories series they can! The Write Your Own Stories each has stories that are pre-illustrated for your students to discover and create their own unique story.
I have included versions in both lined, dotted lined and unlined story pages for you to choose which will best suit the needs of your students. I did not include page numbers on any of the pages because I felt that it should be up to the students to decide the order that the story should happen. I also included story helper pages which are best used by letting the students have the story helper pages while they are looking at the illustrated pages. Students can fill the story helper pages out and decide the order that their story will progress in. This would be great in a literacy center or just have available for early finishers.
