WHAT’S INCLUDED
The March Journal Set is 69-pages of information and writing prompts with various formats to meet the needs of your students.
There is a quick overview of Writer’s Workshop to help you get started.
There are four Journal Cover Page Options to choose from. Three have images for children to color and one has a blank space so kids can design their own cover illustration.
All of our journal prompt sets come in three formats.
For early writers who are still drawing and labeling pictures or experimenting with writing their first sentences, we recommend the unlined version. This way pre-writers can focus on drawing detailed pictures to share their ideas while also experimenting with beginning attempts at labeling.
Once students are able to write a simple sentence we recommend transitioning to the lined version, but some kids are also happy to continue using the unlined version.
Having both options in one set allows you to differentiate within your classroom for each child’s specific needs. Some kids can get the unlined version while others get the lined version of the same prompt. Each child is covering the same topic but at an appropriate level for their abilities.
For advanced writers we’ve also included an extended page with lines. That way kids can keep writing beyond the main prompt page when they are ready to do so.
We’ve included a wide variety of writing prompts so that children get exposure to different types of writing. There are age-appropriate prompts that give students a chance to explore expository, persuasive, narrative, and descriptive writing. We’ve also included some tables and lists for children to get experience responding in various formats.
THEMES INCLUDED IN THE FEBRUARY JOURNAL PROMPTS SET
For the March set we included some prompts related to some holiday concepts and some nonseasonal topics. There are 25 prompts total.

WHAT IF YOU ALREADY HAVE JOURNALS TO USE?
No worries! If you already have pre-made journals or journal paper to use , then you can print out the mini prompts we’ve included. Shrink them to the size you need, print, and have kids glue them directly into your existing journals.
Then parents and students will know the topic as they read over journals at a later date.
