We had a great time on Valentine's Day!
We participated in many different activities that centered around Valentine's Day. We used Conversation Hearts during math and writing to spice things up a bit.
In math, we used the Conversation Hearts to make bar graphs by color. We also counted the letters on each heart to make tally charts.
Before writing I read The Best Valentine. It is an alphabet book about Big Benny who does not receive any Valentines, but in the end he gets something even better. The assignment was to write a letter to Big Benny to make him feel better about not receiving any valentines. Students were encouraged to include as many ABC words from the story as they could. Then, as an extra challenge they were asked to use Conversation Hearts to add to their stories where ever it made since to do so. The results were amazing! Your kids are so creative. Here are a couple of examples...1 and 2.
