Valentine’s Day Literacy

We read The Day It Rained Hearts and Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs and do a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the two stories!

 Valentine’s Day Art Ideas

My favorite heart project is this marble painted heart!  We use shaving cream and tempera paint!  The students swirl the paint on to the heart and use a ruler to scrape off the excess.  You’re left with these adorable hearts and one gigantic mess!  (WHich I love…messy is better….)

Of course we make bags to collect our Valentine’s cards!   Ya’ll know how much I believe in SIMPLE!  Our bags are no different!  We make super simple monster bags!  No fancy boxes or mailboxes.  Good ole paper bags and some fun monsters!

And no celebration is complete without a silly hat!  These hats are made with red Solo cups, some heart eyes and funny legs.  Then we staple a piece of elastic onto the bottom of the cup to make a strap!

Valentine’s Day Party Ideas 

Give the kids a pair of socks and a pencil!  Super simple and cheap and FUN!
