TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Renee E. says, "I love the different options for printing each one. We use it as part of our SEL block and it fits in perfectly. The word banks are so helpful and get the kids started. I would love to see a prompt or question on each version and a way to print all of one type. For example, I am using the mats with the writing lines and the sentence starter. Maybe I missed an easier way to do it, but right now I have to go in and print certain pages and it's easy to print the wrong one on accident. Thank you for this amazing resource."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mrs. B. says, "I love these prompts. We are incorporating more SEL into our day this year and this is an easy way for me to carry over concepts covered in our morning meetings into independent writing centers. I love that I have a choice of lines and that the prompts include a word bank and an editing checklist."
