About This Product
What’s so great about the New Year anyway? Is it the fireworks, the fresh start, or just an excuse to eat way too many snacks? With the "What Makes the New Year Special?" writing and drawing prompt, your students get to explore what makes this time of year feel magical (or just downright fun). From their favorite traditions to their big dreams, they’ll reflect, laugh, and get creative.
How it works:
