3 Easy Steps to a Valentine's Themed Writing Center with FREE vocabulary cards

A writing center does not have to be complicated!  Follow these 3 easy steps to an engaging writing center that your students are sure to love!

Step 1-- Add Vocabulary Cards:

Kindergarten students often need prompts to help with their writing.  It can seem daunting for them to spell certain words that some children just give up instead of trying.  Using vocabulary cards fixes this problem!  It gives them gentle scaffolding in their writing without you having to be right there to guide them.  Cut out these FREE colorful Valentine's Day vocabulary cards and add them to your center.

Step 2--Add Colorful Writing Utensils

Time to bust out those pink and red markers, colored pencils, crayons, or pens.  It may seem simple, but just by switching out plain, old pencils, your students will be more enticed to write (and keep writing).

Step 3-- Finish with Some Envelopes!

What is more lovely during Valentine's Day time than to send a Valentine to someone else.  Just give your kiddos some blank envelopes so they can "address" them to a friend or family member (or maybe their fav teacher!).  My students absolutely love this part of our writing center.  It shows students that writing has a purpose and they are actual writers!

That's it! Easy as 1,2, and 3!  Be sure to comment down below if you use our FREE Valentine's Day vocabulary cards.  Happy Valentine's Day!
