When Jimmy Skunk curls up to take a nap in an old barrel, the imp of mischief gets the better of Peter Rabbit. Tons of trouble plague the long-eared prankster after he decides it’d be great fun to see the barrel — with Jimmy inside — roll down from its resting point high on a hill. Reddy Fox gets the blame for Jimmy’s wild ride (as well as a dose of the skunk’s “perfume”); Peter gets his comeuppance for playing nasty tricks; and before the day is out, Jimmy Skunk and Unc’ Billy Possum go egg-hunting and wind up in a pretty pickle in Farmer Brown’s henhouse. Children will delight in these warm, whimsical adventures that combine all the interest and excitement of a good story with gentle lessons about nature, wildlife and such virtues as courtesy, kindness, and preparedness.

Stop the “I don’t know what to write about!” struggle before it starts. This daily writing prompts resource provides a seamless solution for developing consistent writing habits, critical thinking skills, and creative expression for students in 4th – 12th Grade. Whether it’s a deep dive into facts and history or a light-hearted reflection, this month’s prompts ensure your students have a meaningful reason to put pen to paper every single day.
What’s Included?
This isn’t just a list of sentences; it is a complete journaling system. Each month is packed with:
- Individual Journal Pages: A unique, dedicated page for every day of the month.
- Diverse Prompt Styles: A balanced mix of “light and fun” topics and “deep-dive” prompts that challenge students to think critically about values, history, and social issues.
Here are two examples:
February 22nd – (Be Humble Day)
Have you ever given up an argument, even when you thought you were right, for the sake of not fighting? Have you ever helped someone and not taken credit for it? Do you show respect to people simply because they are older (even if you believe they aren’t necessarily wiser)? These are acts of humility. How hard is it to be humble? Why is it important to be humble? Write about a time that you were humble.February 26th – (“Oh for Pete’s Sake” Day)
Oh, for Pete’s Sake Day celebrates one example of a ‘minced oath’, where an offensive word or phrase is substituted by something more acceptable in society. Other examples include, “For crying out loud!” and “Sugar!”. Such euphemisms have been used for centuries whenever people hit thumbs with hammers, burn hands on hot plates or sit on sharp things while in polite company. Why has Pete been singled out for special attention? Create a story to explain why Pet was singled out!How to implement it:
- Daily Starts: Start your morning or English period with a 10-minute quiet writing session.
- Fast-Finisher Activity: Keep your “early birds” engaged with a meaningful task that doesn’t feel like “busy work.”
- Homeschool Portfolios: Use these daily entries to track progress in handwriting, grammar, and expressive thought throughout the year.
- Digital or Print: These pages are designed to be “print-and-go” ready, but they also work beautifully as digital assignments. Simply give them to your student(s) and allow them to create a word document for each. First, have them copy (type) the prompt. Then answer it! Print and place in a growing 3 ring-binder of work.
