Family Write the Room: Vocabulary Cards, Writing Prompts and Writing Center

Some of the best writing starts when kids get up and move. This family write the room sends students hunting for 12 vocabulary cards, then writing about the people they love.

Back at their seats, they use the words in recording sheets and writing prompts about the people they love. Pair it with a good read aloud and you have a full day of writing, with no craft to prep.
