Establishing a habit of daily writing will help students improve in both reading and writing skills. In this December pack there are pages to use each week day of the month including many extra options so you can pick and choose the options that are best for your group.
Print. Go digital. Or do a combination of both!
Because we know kids are at all different stages in the writing process we’ve also included both unlined and lined journal response pages.
If you already have pre-made journals use the mini prompts and glue them directly into your existing journals.
The digital prompts can be projected on a digital device so that the prompts can be introduced and discussed before students write.
Keep your journals and see how much kids progress throughout the year.
Inside the 70-page December Journal Set you’ll find:
- Tips for and a quick overview of Writer’s Workshop
- Journal Cover Page Options (3 with Images to Color and 1 with Blank Space for Child to Draw)
- Journal Pages (with lines and without lines)
5 Gingerbread Theme Prompts
5 Winter Theme Prompts
5 Holiday Theme Prompts
5 Space Theme Prompts
5 General Prompts
- Extended Page with Lines (for advanced writers)
- Mini Prompts (to be cut and glued into notebooks)
DIGITAL BONUS!
The digital version also includes Writing Steps and Writing Checklists in three differentiated lists. These can be displayed before and after writing to remind kids of the key details to remember when drafting and reviewing their responses.
Inside the digital version there are also blank starter slides so that you can add your own prompts, use a blank prompt page for modeled writing, or create your own versions of the the writing steps and writing checklists pages.
Engaging draw and write prompts for the most wonderful time of the year! Thank you!

This was a great resource to have the kids take home during break. It gave them something to do and remember what they dd over break when they came back to school.

Technical FAQ
- How do I make changes in the editable resources?
Please note that it’s very important to download the resources to your computer.
Then be sure to open the document in the most up-to-date version of Adobe Reader. Editing isn’t consistent when using other programs, and the editable document might not work correctly if you open it in the web browser or another program.
To edit resources like our monthly activity calendars, begin by deleting the original text you want to replace.
You can do this by putting your cursor in the gray/blue editable box, highlighting the text and typing in your replacement text.
Or you can put the cursor at the end of the text and hit “backspace” to delete the original text. Then type in your preferred replacement text.
VIDEO TUTORIALS
For more detailed tips and a step-by-step tutorial watch these two training videos for using editable PDFs. These videos address the most common obstacles and questions.

Video Two: Using the Editable Features
- Why are my purchases printing with little black boxes on the images?
Oh no! Nobody wants to waste ink or paper.
Luckily there is a quick fix for this.
Typically the black boxes mean it’s time to update your version of Adobe Reader. You can do that for free here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/
Once you’re sure you have the current version of Adobe Reader be sure you are opening the file in Adobe Reader instead of your web browser or a web preview.
Print the file from your computer, rather than a phone or a tablet.
If you are still having trouble, try these additional trouble shooting tips:
- When you go to print, choose “Advanced” in the box that pops up.
- Then click “Print as Image” near the top.
If you’re printing from a Mac, and the above suggestions don’t work, try this:
- Find the file.
- Click and hold.
- Press Control.
- Choose Open With Adobe.
- What if it says I need a password to open or print the PDF files I purchased?
There is no password needed.
If you are getting prompted to add a password or unable to print/edit, there are typically two troubleshooting steps that will fix the conflict.
1) Update your version of Adobe Reader. They make updates regularly. These updates sometimes trigger the password prompt even though one is not required. You can update your version for free here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/
2) Also be sure you are opening the file in Adobe instead of your default web browser.
