Thank you Kathleen! I love to use thinking maps as much as possible...I often imagine how much less scattered I would be with planning and writing if I thought to automatically prewrite in the same manner we stress to our kids! I hope you consider following my tpt store or blog so that I can keep you posted on future freebies and products! Thanks again for your feedback!

I'm so glad you enjoy them! My favorite part about tpt is hearing feedback from other teachers who see a use for my products in their own classrooms! Enjoy, and hope you come back to visit my store soon!

The love bugs are adorable, and the writing choices are just perfect for my class. Thank you!

I'm so glad you like them...my kiddos always flip out when cutesy critters make an appearance in the classroom! I love offering the writing choices in the menu form so that students take ownership of whichever products they choose to create. I think they like feeling "grown up" enough to make a responsible choice for themselves!
