Writing Mini Lessons: September Themed
$8.99
These kindergarten, first grade and second grade writing mini-lessons are thematic and can be used with common September themes taught in K-2 classrooms.
Please note: if you want to buy the bundle of yearlong mini-lessons, it is currently growing and being offered at a discounted price here: YEARLONG WRITING MINI LESSONS
With each lesson, I suggest a picture book and a kid-friendly video for each topic, but these are designed to be used with any book you can find about the topic! Many of the lessons don’t even require a book and you could simply have a conversation with kids first about the topic (but I find a book or video helps make things more memorable and gives students more to write about).
With each lesson, I also include differentiated writing pages so these can be used with kindergarten, first, and second-grade students. Your K students may end up relying heavily on a picture box and the traceable sentence stems. Your 1st-grade students may use the word banks to generate their own complete sentences. Your 2nd-grade students may write their own paragraph (or 2-3 sentences) about the topic at hand. These are just some baseline ideas and since our students span a varying range of skillsets, you can use more than one of the pages within your own classroom to meet the needs of your students!
The September mini-lessons are:
Write a Squiggle Story
We can label
I am special
All about Apples
Read a Book Day
Labor Day
My 5 Senses
Enjoy!
