Winter Writing Project and Bulletin Board Idea

When we are about halfway through January, I am totally over winter. I’m tired of the cold. I’m tired of the snow. This winter writing project and bulletin board idea is a great way to put the spark back into your teaching. Students love completing this writing project and craft and you’ll appreciate having a beautiful wall display and formative assessment data for writing. Learn more about this winter writing activity below!

These winter writing prompts, graphic organizers, and a snowman craftivity make great bulletin boards for first, second, third, and fourth grade students. If you need ideas for kids projects or activities to use in winter writing centers, you will love these keepsake portfolios.

The Problems this Winter Writing Activity Solves:

In the middle of the school year, you’ll want to capture a snapshot of your students’ current writing abilities so that you can design lessons based on your students’ needs. This winter writing activity helps you do just that! Students will write a paragraph on the winter season. You can continue to track your students’ progress using the spring, summer, and autumn writing activities as well. This resource is part of the seasonal writing bundle. At the end of the school year, you’ll have four writing samples that show your students’ growth in writing.

How this Winter Writing Activity will Help your Students:

  • documents students’ writing abilities, which makes it great for including in writing portfolios and sharing with families during parent-teacher conferences.
  • is a print-and-go resource, which saves you lots of time planning and prepping.
  • includes clear instructions, expectations, and rubric guidelines for students, so it makes it easy for students to understand the criteria for quality writing.

How to Use this Writing Resource in Your Classroom:

This is certainly a writing project you could do with your class even if you didn’t have them write about the fall, but since I have my little friends complete a sample of writing back when the leaves are orange and red and I was consuming more hot apple cider than you would think humanly possible, I had the added bonus of having my jaw hit the floor at the noticeable progress that they’ve made.

We began by brainstorming all kinds of winter-related topics, words and ideas to get their minds thinking. I then had them work fairly independently to complete their graphic organizers and compose a draft. I sat with each child individually to edit, discuss, and revise their writing goals and then they were off to use their very best handwriting to complete the final copy.

What is Included in this Winter Writing Resource?

This winter writing resource includes the following:

  • printables for all parts of the writing process (brainstorm, draft, and final draft) so you don’t need to supplement with additional resources
  • multiple stationery options so you can differentiate based on your students’ needs
  • 3 versions of photos and illustration templates so you can choose which one you like best
  • rubrics that help make expectations clear to students and make grading quick and easy for you
  • a self-assessment activity that help you guide students through reflecting on the experience
  • a feedback form to help you identify student strengths, set goals for each student, and develop future lessons
  • a teacher guide to walk you through how to implement the resources in your classroom
  • digital versions of all the resources so students can access them at home or in school

What is the Seasonal Writing Bundle?

The seasonal writing bundle helps you do just that! You can continue to track student progress using these autumn, winter, spring, and summer writing activities.
