Thanksgiving Writing Prompts

Are you ready for some turkey? I am…I was just thinking the other day that I needed to make a Thanksgiving dinner in September…  you need one at least once a month.    Today we have the Thanksgiving Writing Prompts, great for kindergarten, first or second grade!  I have modified the prompts so that they can be used for several different levels.

Before getting to the Thanksgiving Writing Prompts, I always like to introduce a few books that are good to read about Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Writing Prompts

This packet contains 15+ different Thanksgiving writing prompts great to be used in kindergarten, first or second grade.  As you know, kindergarten students do not really write much during the first weeks of school. Each writing prompts has 4 different pages you can use – one that has a picture with something to write, one they can write a full page prompt, one that you can cut the pag in half and write a half page prompt and then one that the student can just draw.  The drawing prompt allows the student to think about what they would write and put their thoughts into pictures.  A picture is worth a thousand words!  Pre-writing, writing prompts!    Here are a few pictures of a few of the Thanksgiving writing prompts.  The entire packet is 60+ pages long.

Handwriting Patch Curriculum

Madreen Karle is a master first grade reading teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience. She taught reading in a special needs and English as a Second Language classroom. After retiring she wrote a reading program to help others learn how to teach reading. She is a trusted educator and author of 5 books to help teach children to read and write. In addition to her books, she is a mentor for 3 websites that give reading teacher tips (Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound ReadingMrs. Karle’s Reading Patch, and Mrs. Karle’s Handwriting Patch). Through her teaching she learned that confidence was the key to learning to read. A child who is not confident at reading does not like to read and struggles to read. Mrs. Karle created “sunshine moments” to help teach children how to grow their confidence and learn to read.
Meeghan Karle Mousaw (Madreen’s daughter) has her Master’s in Special Education. She has 8 years experience teaching children to read online. In addition, she developed a curriculum to teach children handwriting called The Handwriting Patch. With the Handwriting Patch learning is fun because children learn to draw and learn handwriting at the same time. In 2019 The Handwriting Patch curriculum became an amazon best seller the first year it was released, helping thousands of kids learn handwriting with a unique, fun method. She is mom to 6 kids, each with differently learning abilities and struggles.
The Reading Patch was established by the creators of Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading. Together they have been featured on the NBC media outlets and Parents Magazine online. Over the last 8 years in their online platform, Madreen and Meeghan have worked tirelessly with teachers, homeschoolers and parents looking to help children learn to read to become a trusted authority in teaching children to read and advocating early literacy skills. They often partner with other educational experts to deliver the most current information to the Reading Patch community.

  2. I love writing prompts especially when it revolves around holidays! These sheets are so much fun & perfect for young ones. As a mom of 3 loved having prompts around when during the holidays when I needed to create some family time & a little writing practice. Great post & thank you for linking up with our Small Victories Sunday Linkup!

  5. These are great for getting the kiddos to write!

  6. I have to keep signing up every time, even though I am getting the email because I already signed up?? I am confused.

    1. Yes, you do have to enter your email each time to trigger the automatic email/download. The system is smart enough to know you are already on the list so it doe snot add you more than once….but -to get the freebie, yes, you enter your email each time. (There are actually 2 servers…1 server sends the download, the other sends the newsletter…and so that is how it works. ) Anyway, sorry for any confusion! Enjoy the freebie 🙂

    You packets look wonderful. I am currently a first grade teacher and my goal this year is to do a better job with teaching writing, and not using a four square. I would like to try some of your writing prompts. Thank you for your generosity. Linda

  8. Thank you so much for sharing the Thanksgiving writing prompts. I cannot wait to use them with my kindergarteners.

    1. Hi there, Sorry for your confusion. Yes, you always have to re-enter your email address… it is the only way I can reach the high number of people we reach. The system is smart enough to know that you are already on the list/it does not re-add you. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me at [email protected] (or, you can always leave a comment, I get those too!)
