Twenty-four winter journal prompts in two levels, with picture word banks and I Can posters. The prompts cover a New Year goal, an I Have a Dream prompt for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, snowmen, hot cocoa, penguins, polar bears, snow days and more. Students practice narrative, opinion, informative and how-to writing, and every page shows which type it is.
Level 1 is for kindergarten: traced sentence starters on primary lines and a 5-picture word bank. Level 2 is for 1st and 2nd grade: printed sentence starters, more lines and a 6-picture word bank. Both levels have a drawing box and an I Can checklist for self-checking, so a child can plan, write and check their own work on the same page.
The seven I Can writing posters — name, capitals, spaces, punctuation, sound out words, draw a picture, reread — put the expectations on the wall, and the writing rubric and Writing Star certificate close the set. A journal cover and blank journal pages for both levels mean the prompts can live in a journal all month, and a weekly plan, Teacher Notes and a prompt list with page numbers make the set easy to run day by day.
The pages are black and white on US Letter paper, and the listing states 66 pages. The grade range is kindergarten through 2nd grade: Level 1 for kindergarten, Level 2 for 1st and 2nd grade; the listing's Highlights field says PreK–1st.
