Valentine’s Day Literacy & Math Bundle
Finally, I’m excited to share with you my very own Valentine’s Day Literacy and Math Bundle. It has EVERYTHING you need to fill your Valentine’s Day while still giving you plenty of choice to ensure you meet the needs of all your students. Your class will sort, graph & record math data, practice writing skills with “Hearty Sentences” and “Love Letters,” create a Robot craft for a Valentine card bag or box, and make a loving card craft for a parent or other special valentine. Let’s take a closer look…..
Robot Valentine Craft
All students need a place to collect their Valentines from their classmates! In this activity, students choose the shapes they want to use to decorate a bag or box to collect Valentine cards and then graph the shapes they used to make their robot.
Conversation Heart Candy Math
Math is always more fun when it involves candy! Students will sort, graph and record the data from their conversation heart candy. There are color and black & white sorting sheets (they can be saved for future years) and 2 different recording sheets to choose from depending on the needs of your class.
“Hearty Sentences”
In this activity students glue conversation hearts to make complete sentences. This is a great writing center activity that can be used throughout the entire month of February! My students love reading their creative sentences to each other!
Valentine “Love” letter writing
Students write friendly letters to classmates and other loved ones!
Parent Valentine Card Craft
Students create a heart-shaped necklace card with a loving poem that they can wear home and give to their special valentine!
