Writing Center Words & Write-the Room Activity – School

Help your students write about things at school with these sixteen school themed words and images for your K-2 classroom Writing Center.   Words with images include backpack, books, clipboard, computer, crayons, eraser, glue stick, lunch box, lunch tray, marker, milk, notebook, pencil, recess, school bus, and scissors.

My students always love working in the Writing Center!  I have plenty tools and “help” available to them, and these themed word pages which they adore.  I print two of each, so there is no arguing about having to share, and I laminate them for durability before placing in the Writing Center.  Students can easily grab a laminated word page and use it to help write their stories. 

Page 4 of the PDF is for the Writing Center.  Print and laminate one or two and place it in the Writing Center for your students to access as needed.

Also included are 16 cards for a Write–the–Room activity if you choose to use them.  (I have only used this with my Kindergarten class.)  These cards are four-per-page, with the same words and images used for the Writing Center. 

Pages 5-8 of the PDF are cards for use as a Write-the-Room activity.  You may wish to laminate for durability to be able to use year-after-year, and use sticky tack (poster putty) to mount it to walls, bookshelves, file cabinets, etc.  I find this is easier than tape.  On of my grade-level teachers prints in gray scale, tapes them up, and then lets students take them home after use. Whatever works best for you. 

Recording pages for the Write-the-Room are included on pages 9 and 10.  Page 9 is a full-size recording sheet, and page 10 has 2 half-size recording sheets if you use mini-clip boards like I do. 

Please note - the first three pages are for "packaging" purposes.
