Be My Chocolate Valentine!

  Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and I'm already dreaming of.....CHOCOLATE! 
   We'll be starting new books in our literacy circles in a couple of weeks and I always save
 The Chocolate Touch and Chocolate Fever for February. 
To go with along with our chocolate theme, my class will be doing activies from my
 Be My Chocolate Valentine! There are 8 chocolate-themed math and literacy centers,
with all the chocolatey goodness your students need to practice prefixes & suffixes,
synonyms, syllable word building, parts of speech, place value, coordinate graphing,
 plane shapes, and addition and subtraction!

 Last year, my kids LOVED doing these activities for our party!
After everyone delivered their Valentines of course!
  








 






 























Be my chocolate valentine and check them out on
TPT or TN!


We'll also be doing this sweet little writing craftivity and hanging them on our door!
My class LOVES it when I incorporate pictures of them in any activitiy!  



We'll start with a mini-lesson on the history of Valentine's Day
 then define a valentine.  The next day we'll categorize the attributes of a valentine.
I project the anchor charts on my SMARTBoard
for modeling, but you can also print and display them. 


On the third day, my kiddos will write about the ways they show they care
for their loved ones and make this cutie-patootie Valentine craft!




Two versions of handwriting lines are included.
You can purchase this little cutie for your class for $3.50 in my stores: 
TPT  or TN



 How do you celebrate Valentine's Day in your classroom?
