February Writing Journal Prompts

The February Writing Journal Prompts are designed to help young learners build confidence with writing during the month of February.

The prompts are connected to familiar February themes such as Groundhog Day, Valentine’s Day, dental health, Presidents’ Day, and the 100th day of school, helping students make meaningful connections while developing early writing skills.
