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 Sight Words
Valentine’s Day Math
We love to measure so we Measure Love using non-standard units! 
Valentine’s Day Science And STEM
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 onto 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….)
These heart mosaics turn out so colorful. You can cut the squares ahead of time or you can make this a torn paper lesson and have students tear bits of paper to fill in their hearts.
We also use our hands and feet to make a LOVE poster!
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
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!
We’ve also made unicorn bags! Again, simple. Made by the kids.
We have also used decorate your own cookie kits and let me just say, that was the EASIEST And QUIETEST Valentine’s Day party EVER. Definitely doing that EVERY YEAR!
Give the kids a pair of socks and a pencil! Super simple and cheap and FUN!

Nice house! Good luck moving. Its such a pain to pack and unpack.
Sugar overload at it's finest – that fits my class today – but sooo worth it! {and we have leftover cupcakes too!} Our pack of hearts had no whites, but lots of blues! Congrats on the house! 🙂

That house is gorgeous! So excited for you. Can't wait for the inside pics. I'm going to have to steal that sock idea for next year.
OMG the picture of the plate of cookies, cupcakes etc. makes my tummy ache just looking at it. I love the greeting that you did during morning meeting, I'll have to try that out with my kiddos. I'm hosting a linky for people to share their Valentine's Day pictures, I'd love for you to link up this post if you have time. Enjoy your weekend and CONGRATULATIONS on your new house.
