Merry & Bright Writing Fun! 6 Creative Christmas Writing Prompts for December
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!
Check out our blog post Writing Prompts Your Students Will Love for more tips and inspiration!

Jour de la Terre-French Earth Day Writing and Craft-French Writing-Écriture
By La trousse de Madame
A creative and fun way to get students writing in French.
I created this resources out of a need in my class to do quick and simple Earth Day activities that are easy, fun, and engaging and gets them thinking of ways that they can help the Earth.
Once I got started creating these cute little activities, I thought it might be fun for students to make their favourite little craft. They just love these ‘surprise’ crafts when they can open them up and see all the writing inside!
How we use this in class:
Students are encouraged to write about the ways they can protect the planet, how to recycle old materials, how reusing is a great way of upcycling something that you are giving a new purpose for and how that can help the earth to heal.
What is included in this resource?
I have included step-by-step instructions on how to put it all together for students to build their own concept of the craft.
Included are:
-4 x Colour versions of the world that may be cut and pasted with and without the googly eyes
-4 x Black and white versions of the Earth that may also be colour cut and pasted for students to build their craft.
-1 long writing portion to develop a good set of affirmations on how we will help the earth
I would love to know how you are using this product in your classroom. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have anything to say about this resource. I love helping teachers as much as I can. A product review also is a great way of letting me know, and leaving a review earns you extra credit for more amazing TeachShare products!
Who can use this resource:
Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple texts to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.
Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in writing and confidence in writing strategies.
The prompts are designed to offer many variations for students to use their imaginations and to build confidence in their own writing.
Correction sheet is handy for use with a substitute as they can confidently assess students and command the lesson even when they are not assured of their French skills.
What grade level:
I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French writing skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.
Science of Reading:
These prompts are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing writing proficiency and building student confidence in the classroom!
Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven passages on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!
