Included are 12 calendars -  One September for a start date of August & One

September for a start date of September -  Each calendar is full of thought provoking, fun, and

engaging journal topics.

Dear Teachers, Thank you for purchasing this awesome yearly writing journal calendar. I am sure you will not be disappointed because I have had success with using it for years! I found it convenient to print, enlarge these calendars on a poster machine, and laminate these calendars for the year. Each day my students have a “ten minute quick write” after recess to reflect on the prompt of the day. All of my students look forward to this activity and it is an easy routine to develop consistency in the classroom. Included are 12 calendars -  One September for a start date of August & One September for

a start date of September -  Each calendar is full of thought provoking, fun, and engaging

journal topics. If you find any typos or have any questions, please let me know. [email protected]
