Writing Center using Stamps for Creative Stories and Math Word Problems (includes FREEBIE)

I just LOVE the Dollar Tree! I went in to get 2 items and came out with way too much stuff. Check out these cute stamps! I could not resist the temptation to purchase these for my writing center. I bought a set for spring, ocean, zoo and princess themes.

I put them in my writing center and my kindergarten students went crazy. They absolutely love these stamps! We discussed creating stories after stamping their picture and creating addition or subtraction word problems after stamping their picture.

I thought this student did an excellent job of writing an addition word problem to match her picture. "I picked up four flowers for my mom and I found four more flowers. How many flowers do I have in all? I have eight flowers in all."

I can't wait to see what else they create using these stamps. I've got to get me some more stamp pads.

Here is a subtraction word problem FREEBIE to help get your students ready to write their own word problems.

Opinion Writing: Plane or Car: Which do you like better? Why? (FREEBIE)

This activity is connected to CCGPS ELACCKW1: Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose opinion pieces in which they tell a reader the topic or the name of the book they are "writing" about and state an opinion or preference about the topic or book.

The topic for this opinion writing FREEBIE is transportation (a plane or a car). These opinion writing activities are great to put in a writing center for students to choose which pictures to use to give their opinions about or for a mini lesson on opinion writing. This FREEBIE includes one page with picture choices of a plane or a car. The page says “Which do you like better? Why?” then it has five blank lines for students to write on to tell why they think their choice is the best. Have your students circle the choice they are writing about. This helps them stay focused on their topic. Students love telling which item they like better. This activity encourages students to give the reason why they think their choice is better. Teachers can also use these writing activities as a whole class activity. Assigning these activities for a homework assignment can include parents in helping increase their child’s writing skills. However you choose to use these activities, I hope your students develop a love for writing.
