November Free Thankful Writing Printable – Thanksgiving Writing Prompts for Early Writers

This free Thankful Writing Printable helps students practice sentence construction while reflecting on the people, places, and things they appreciate most. With the simple sentence frame “___ is thankful for ___,” students build meaningful sentences like “Tara is thankful for family” or “Eli is thankful for his dog.” This structure supports early writers in combining a subject and predicate, building complete sentences, and practicing capitalization and punctuation — all while connecting learning to the Thanksgiving season.

This resource is perfect for phonics centers, morning work, writing mini lessons, or whole-group gratitude projects. It also creates meaningful displays for classroom bulletin boards or hallway showcases, allowing students to share what they’re thankful for with classmates and families.
