This free printable draw-and-write worksheet helps kindergarten and first grade children practice expanding a familiar classroom scene with their own words. Children begin by following the prompt to draw a teacher reading to students, choosing details for the teacher, students, book, and classroom. They then complete “The teacher is…” with a sentence ending based on their picture or an additional idea they imagine.
Children might describe what the teacher is reading, what the class is learning about, or another detail about what is happening in the scene. Using an open-ended sentence starter encourages children to add information rather than simply copy words from the prompt. This free kindergarten and first grade worksheet provides practice with sentence construction, action words, descriptive details, handwriting, and beginning storytelling for homeschool or additional literacy practice at home.
