February 14th is quickly approaching. I have been scouring the web and found some fun things to try in my classroom. I figured I would share some things that I found along with some of my regular activities for any other last minute planners out there.
Crafts
I fell in love with this quick paper craft from Crafty Morning. I am a sucker for dogs, so I had to check it out! You can find this craft and many others here.
We just finished a unit on fractions and I wove pizza throughout the unit. I may have them create a whole pizza with a slice missing to review some fraction concepts. I think my students would love this!
I came across this image while searching for crafts. To see the original post click here.
It was originally intended to be used as a Mother’s Day card. But, as soon as I saw it, I thought about the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio. I am reading it with my class right now and want to use this idea to create a Valentine’s Day card with a kindness message.
STEM Activities
I love using holiday themed STEM activities in the classroom. My class will complete a STEM project next week. I have four Valentine’s Day themed challenges all ready to go.
The challenge cards will be placed in a hat and each group will choose one to complete. I can’t wait to see how they solve the problems.
Math Activities
Math activities with a holiday theme are fun, too! There are a bunch out there! I created a few to fit concepts that needed review in my classroom. We are working on decimal concepts so this decimal matching game will be perfect.
