My Toy Wish List Freebie and Helpful Hints

It seems the day before Halloween stores were putting out the Christmas stuff.  What happened to Thanksgiving?  Has it been swallowed up by the holiday rush?  With Christmas comes Christmas Craziness with the kiddos.  (This has already started in my classroom.)

This weekend I noticed the big toy books are out!  This Sunday's paper had a toy wish book from Target and Toys R Us.  (Quick go grab it out of the recycling bin!  You can get copies from the store too.)

Everyone knows how much children love making an unending wish list.  Making lists is one of the reasons we write, so why not add this to your writing center!  Students will LOVE this!  You can even take their list and narrow it down to an item or two and expand the lesson into a persuasive writing lesson.

Here is the list paper my students will be using.  Click here to download your copy.
