Kindergarten Spring Writing Center

Have your kindergarten spring writing center set up in no time with this Making Words printable resource.  These no-prep printable Spring worksheets and vocabulary cards are all you need for a kindergarten Spring writing center, great for Easter writing activities.

Build vocabulary, concepts of print, and writing skills using the Spring Making Words worksheets. These no-prep worksheets made it simple to establish an engaging activity that not only met the individual levels of each student, but the Kindergarten and 1st grade ELA common core standards, as well.

We began our lesson by discussing the illustrated word cards that come with the kindergarten spring writing center.  These Spring vocabulary words include basket, bunny, eggs, flower, butterfly, snail, umbrella, rain boots, and Earth Day.  The students would tell me what they are, and give me a sentence using one or more of the words.

Next, I allowed them to choose which word they wanted to build and write about.  Since today was the last day I'd meet with this group before Easter, I wanted to limit my selection to the Easter-themed words: eggs, bunny, and basket.  After returning from Spring Break, I will extend the lesson with the remaining words.

They selected the Making Words worksheet that had the word of their choice, and began cutting the scrambled word tiles from the bottom of the page.  Next, they BUILD the word, gluing the letters in the correct order.

After building the word, they WRITE the word.  To challenge this particular group of kiddos, I had them write a sentence using the word - rather than simply copying the word. This  kindergarten spring writing center is a breeze to differentiate.

As you can see in the picture below, this boy wanted to use the word cards as a resource when writing his sentence. The Spring vocabulary word cards are a BONUS and can be used several ways, such as on a seasonal word wall, posted in a writing center, in a making words center, as a pocket chart activity, and as vocabulary cards for quick language building exercises.

After writing, they DRAW an illustration that matches their sentence.

This Kindergarten Spring Writing Center, Making Words, is wonderful because it can be used in a writing center, as a whole group shared writing lesson, or during small group reading intervention.  It's also a simple activity for parent volunteers or tutors to do with the kids.
