Cinco de Mayo Write the Room: Vocabulary Cards, Writing Prompts and Center

Monday, February 22, 2016

Early May calls for something fun that still gets kids writing. Your students hunt for 12 Cinco de Mayo vocabulary cards with a clipboard, then use the words in recording sheets and writing prompts.

This Cinco de Mayo write the room gets your active learners up with a clipboard, hunting for 12 vocabulary cards around the room. Back at their seats, they use the words in recording sheets and writing prompts, so you get movement and real writing practice in 1 activity. Pair it with a good read aloud for a full day of learning.

Hey there!

I'm Jessica, a teacher and a mom of 4. I started making resources for my own Pre-K to 1st grade kiddos back in 2012, and Teachers Follow Teachers grew from there.

Everything here is built for real classrooms: easy to prep, easy to teach, and kind to your evenings. Pull up a chair and grab what helps.
