Pizza Pie ELA! Adjective Sorting Activity

December 1, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Does anyone else think learning about parts of speech is fun?

If not, it’s possible that it’s just me.

When I learned about them years (and years) ago in school, I thought it was so neat that the words I read and used everyday had different functions.

If your students aren’t quite as thrilled about the parts of speech as I was, this pizza-themed adjective sorting activity is fun way to practice recognizing describing words!

Pizza Themed Adjective Sorting Activity

If you’re reading a pizza-themed book with your class, this is a wonderful way to weave in some basic ELA practice.

Plus, it has a hands-on component that younger students will love!

Deep Blue Sea! Printable Ocean ELA Activities for Kids

May 19, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

The town I grew up in was about half an hour inland from the coast. So the ocean has always had a special place in my heart.

As a kid, I was always excited to go to the beach and play on the sand, wade in the waves, and just generally be happy.

Helping Hands! Community Helpers Writing Activity

May 7, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Community helpers are always a popular theme in early education. They have been for years.

These spring preschool story prompts are an easy way to help preschoolers start writing creatively!
Encourage your preschoolers to express themselves with these spring preschool story prompts!
>These spring preschool story prompts are such a fun way to get young children writing!

Piglet and I have been working on her handwriting and phonics skills for months, so I thought she’d have a little fun trying her hand at creative writing.

And spring is a great time to be creative!

Naturally, I thought she’d enjoy some of her own spring worksheets for kids: these new printable spring preschool story prompts!

Fun Spring Early Creative Writing Prompts

Spring Story Prompts for Preschoolers

The prompts include four different scenarios for preschoolers to write about.

Printable Spring Creative Writing Prompts

They can write and draw about their favorite thing about spring.

They can write and draw about their favorite spring animal.

Spring Themed Creative Writing Prompts

They can express what they like to do in spring.

And, to get more specific, they can write or draw about what they want to do this spring.

Plus, they can draw a picture of what they think could happen afterwards. Let’s see these in action!

How to Use Early Creative Writing Prompts with Kids

As an English major, creative writing is one of my passions.

There’s just something about putting pencil to paper (or fingers to keyboards, these days) and starting off down a road of creative thought.

Preschool Spring Writing Prompts

You kind of have an idea of where you’d like to go, but you’re always surprised at the things you come up with along the way.

Writing Stories for Preschoolers

The same is true with little writers!

Open-ended questions give them a chance to put their imaginations to work. And, after all, writing without imagination is like…like…not writing at all.

Each of these spring creative writing prompts has a line for kids to finish the sentence. At the bottom, there’s a box for them to draw a picture of what they wrote.

Spring Preschool Prompts

This spring, Piglet wants to play basketball. That’s her shooting the ball into the hoop in the picture.

Writing about Spring with Preschoolers

I will say that I had to read the sentence out to her and help her spell the words. The rest she did herself.

Working on Story Predictions with Preschoolers

After each initial prompt is a second page asking kids to write what they think will happen next.

This is a simple way to introduce creative writing to preschoolers: ask them to come up with an image and then predict what might happen afterward.

Completed Preschool Story Prompts

Piglet’s answer to what will happen after she plays basketball was: “Bounces”.

Naturally, she drew a picture of the ball bouncing after falling through the net.

Working on Storywriting with Preschoolers

Hmmm….what to do next? Color the pictures!

Coloring Completed Story Prompts

And that’s what she did. She was so proud of her work that she gave her masterpieces to her older siblings.

This was a fun (and quick) language arts lesson for her.

We spent about 15 minutes on one of the prompts and she got to practice handwriting, creative writing, art, phonics, and spelling – all in one activity!

Vowel Houses! Short Vowel Sounds Activity for Kids

October 28, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Learning about short vowel sounds is part of a great foundation in early literacy.

After all, when we teach early readers to decode CVC words, the short vowel sound in the center is what separates the two consonants.

So these interactive vowel houses make a wonderful short vowel sounds activity for increasing phonics skills!

Back to School! Creative Writing Prompts for Kids

July 29, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

A new school year usually brings a new set of worries for parents…and for kids. 

I’ve noticed that, as my kids grow older, they start to struggle with feelings of self-consciousness and uncertainty. And the first place I start to notice it is in their writing.

Even my bookworms who used to be able to write with abandon start to feel unsure about how to express their feelings as they move through the upper elementary grades and closer to middle school.

So I thought this set of back to school writing prompts would be a great way to start the conversation about the new school year, even if students feel less than enthusiastic.

Simple Back to School Writing Prompts

These would be great for individual students or take-home writing assignments. Or you could use them for a collaborative writing activity as a group!

Travel Tales! Vacation Creative Writing Activity for Kids

July 22, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

It’s already back to school season. Can you believe it?

Personally, I’ve had a wonderful summer break and I am not in any way ready to get back to class. I have a pretty strong hunch my kids feel the same way.

But, like it or not, summer is coming to an end. So, I thought it would be a little easier to get back to ELA with this easy creative writing activity about summer vacation!

Simple Vacation Creative Writing Activity for Kids

June 3, 2019 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

I’ve never actually sat down and written a list of my favorite things. 

If I did, though, I think donuts would be near the top.

Snow Globe Grammar: Parts of Speech Sorting Activity

December 13, 2018 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

I am a huge grammar nerd. I’ve always loved learning about language and how we use it.

My oldest is a fellow ELA junkie, but my middle kids are…less enthusiastic about learning the rules of lexicon. Plus, I just wanted to make a basic ELA lesson more fun, especially for our rising second grader.
