This New Year's Resolution writing activity is complete with an editing checklist, brainstorming ideas, and space to write. It makes a great sub plan or extension activity. Let’s get your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader thinking about their resolution and what steps they might take to turn their resolution into a healthy habit. Don’t forget the lessons learned in growth mindset, resilience, and executive function skills. Then follow up with STEAM extension activities included in the download.

Give them space to write about the resolution they want to make, how they’ll keep their resolution, something challenging that made it hard to keep their resolution, and how they knew they were successful in keeping their resolution. The painful process of getting kids to write more is made easy when kids take ownership of the story.

"Such a fun assignment that fostered the motivation that my reluctant writer so needed! My son loved the prewriting table with choices, which also helped him organize his paragraphs. The editing checklist at the end also helped him be in charge of his own writing." -Daniela B., Homeschool Mom
