Description
In 1st and 2nd Grade, students begin writing paragraphs for the first time. They need continual practice with real-world prompts. The 50 prompts with sentence stems in this resource are ones my students loved! They are ideal for at-home practice, work on writing centers, or a technology center.

For students to respond to the prompts, the Google Slide must not be in presentation mode.
How can I scaffold student work during distance learning?
•Audio: Download the Talk + Comment extension from the Google Chrome Store and you can easily leave quick audio comments on different slides explaining the tasks or giving feedback.
•Videos: Want students to watch a quick video or mini-lesson before they begin? Add a new slide to the beginning of the document and link the video or task you want students to complete before beginning.
Happy Teaching,
