Back to School Writing Freebie

Friends~Today I am sharing a 2 page Back to School Writing Freebie!  Every August, I begin to assess writing skills with some prompts based on skills taught in first and second grade.  Like~All Abouts, How tos, Opinion Writing, and Poetry.  I created several prompts for each area so that I can see where they are at at the beginning of the year.

Here is one of the first prompts I give out to my students.  It starts with a making list activity and then they use the list to help them write about one of their favorite back to school topics. 

I always get several that love shopping for school supplies or packing their lunch!
