I have been getting the sweetest comments from teachers about our writing prompts, and I wanted to share a bunch of our new Spring Writing Prompts for First Grade. I love to write in the spring. Everywhere you look there seems to be some kind of inspiration for a story. Color is popping out everywhere, creating a natural work of art. The smells of fresh rain, spring blossoms, and green growing things combine in an intoxicating mixture, and the excitement of new life is present in earth and animals alike.

These spring writing prompts focus on little bits of the joy of the season. Each set includes narrative, informative, and opinion prompts. The kids can tell stories, both real and imaginable, as well as writing how they feel about subjects relevant to them. To help them structure their thoughts, I’ve included a writing organizer for each prompt as well as a draft page. Once the children have filled out the basic information they want to write about in their organizer, they can compose the actual story or argument on their draft page. They can then use the included editing checklist to correct their work, and then write their final draft.

To give you the most options for your writers, there is a seasonal set of spring writing prompts as well as a separate set for each month. My kids and I love having choices, and I hope there is something here for everyone. Take a peek, and be sure to let me know which ones you love best and would like to see more of.
