Valentine Excitement and a FREEBIE!

This packet is filled with activities using a Valentine theme. The activities build on curriculum and common core skills. There are activities for centers, whole groups, partners and independent. Each subject area is covered. Let's take a peek!!

The crafts are so cute and so simple.  Patterns are available.

Sorry about the red underline above BUT.... I guess spell check does not recognize "toad"ally!!

Here are just a few of the activities.  I think the vocabulary cars are so cute and I use the page included above to mark my word work center.

The math activities are ideal for partner games and more.  There are three different data collection activities.  I also included a helpful hints page for those who need it.

Each game includes a record keeping sheet for you to check for accuracy!

I love encouraging students to use text to gather information.  These activities are perfect because the students can underline text and vocabulary they are not familiar with.  Here are a couple samples.

Check out some of the creative writing activities.  These are perfect for center work.  Again the page above can be used to mark your writing center.

And look at these delightful reading suggestions!!

TOOTH FAIRY FREEBIE!!

What kiddo doesn't get excited when they lose a tooth!!??

This packet is perfect for your classroom and very little work.

All you need is a notebook.

On the insert place the cover in color or black and white for Our Class Tooth Book.

                                                                                                      Print a page for each child either black and white or color and place them in the notebook.

As a child loses a tooth they record the information by making a tally, adding the information, or both.  YOUR CHOICE!!

Keep a well stocked supply of badges for the kiddo to wear when they lose a tooth, baggies to put the tooth in if it falls out at school, AND the MY TOOTH INSIDE.

I staple the baggie shut so the student is not tempted to open it and lose the tooth before they get home!!

                                                   These also are available in color or black and white.

I also give a prize for losing a tooth.  INEXPENSIVE...

Eraser from Oriental Trading.

Pencil from SmileMakers

If you wish the student can have FREE time the next day to write about their Tooth Fairy experience.

I then have them sit in a special chair and share...Great for evaluating Speaking for the standards.!!
