Thank you so much to all fellow bloggers and teachers who have shared your wonderful ideas and comments during the "14 days of Love." You are all such amazingly creative teachers who genuinely care about the success of your students. This is the final post of the series, but be on the look out for another series of in March " A Spring Fling."
The first 14 people to leave a comment about one activity that you plan to do in your classroom to celebrate Valentine's Day will receive any item from my TpT store absolutely FREE! Just leave a comment along with your e-mail address and the item you'd like to receive, and I'll send it to you tomorrow morning. I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day tomorrow!
I plan to have my firsties write about what love means to them. They we add their writing to a colorful heart that we create a few days ahead of time. They are hilarious :)
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE a copy of your Dental Health unit. Thanks for being so willing to share with other teachers (especially first year teachers like myself)

I love all your ideas! My kids will be graphing candy hearts, making patterns with them, and doing a literature response to The Day It Rained Hearts. Thanks for sharing all your fabulous ideas!!!
ReplyDeleteI sent home a letter to each parent and asked what their favorite memory of their child was and asked for them to send in a baby picture. I have created a pop up card to their child from their parent including this special memory and picture. This activity is a lot of fun. The kids will try to guess whos picture belongs to which kid. The parents get a little treat from this activity too.

Well...I didn't make it into the first 14 but I am going to leave you a comment anyway, just in case some of the above are duplicates!
ReplyDeleteMy kids love doing "making words" activities. I am going to have them see how many words they can make from "Happy Valentine's Day". They came up with 56 words with "Happy Groundhog's Day" and are waiting for the challenge.
It is also our 100th day of school tomorrow so we should be busy!
Happy Valentine's Day!
I would love the Dental Health Unit!
