Writing Offices will be an invaluable tool. You know I’m all about providing tools to increase independence with even our earliest writers. Writing Offices check all the boxes. These writing offices include many different aspects of your writing instruction.
The set can be printed in black and white or full-color. You decide what is going to be included. Two file folders are glued with inside flap overlapping. This will give the students 5 surfaces for adding materials to their office.

B&W Writing Offices
Students can help build the writing offices with the B&W option. Students can write their own name and glue the cover to the outside of file folder 1. Teachers can give the students one element at at time to color and glue. When all the pages are complete, offices can be laminated.
Full-Color Writing Offices
Teachers can make the Writing Office ahead of time using full-color images. Teachers can determine what elements are appropriate for their classroom. Writing offices can be laminated. The problem with this option is student buy-in. I’m all about students helping to prepare the offices as they go. They’ll own it. They’ll use it.
