Less than $5 Homeschool Writing Resources

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!

This versatile resource is good for brightening someone's day on many occasions; Mother's Day and it is perfect for an end of the year "thank you!" Is there a special in your school you want to thank? Personally, I have the students brainstorm for all of the people that work for the school. Everyone takes one person and we brighten their day! We thank bus drivers, cafeteria workers, custodians, support staff, the principal, etc.

Your students will have lots of fun with this STEM challenge. First, they will read about six types of flowers. They will learn the characteristics of each flower, along with the meaning and what they symbolize. This is the perfect opportunity to talk about the job of the flower as well as various character traits. After reading, students will choose one flower to make given a set of guidelines. One of these guidelines is that the stem of the flower must be able to hold a letter or poem. Writing paper, directions for writing a diamante poem, and paper for the final copy of student's poetry are included.
