February's Pinterest Linky

Happy February!  The best month in winter!  It brings us the renewed hope of love, and the reminder to demonstrate our love to our loved ones.  Every year I love to give my children Valentine goodies.  They are all getting older, but it's something that they look forward to. I love that my husband buys my teen daughter flowers.  It's a reminder to her that she is special, beautiful, and loved.


So enough of my home family.  Time to talk about my family at school.  The children in my classroom.  I wish I could spoil them on Valentine's Day too! I'm linking up with Lisa from Pawsitively Teaching and Marssa from The Inspired Owl to share three pins that could be used in your classroom during the month of February.  So here we go . . .

Valentine's Day Color paint samples

Ok, so here is my idea on how I would use this.  I would punch the hearts.  Then I would write the letters to their sight words on each heart.  Then we could practice spelling them during our guided reading lesson.  How fun would that be?  I might even write numbers on each heart and, have students make addition and subtraction sentences or number patterns.

 And my favorite pin.



Valentine's Day Bunting
I love to find pins and morph them into a use for my classroom.  For this pin I would use the same book background.  Next, I would print light pink colored hearts.  Then students would write on each heart about a Valentine book.  They could use three hearts and write the beginning, middle, and end. They could also use one heart and write a summary. Or use more hearts and write about characters, setting, plot, etc.  The possibilities are endless! Last, I would place a light colored pink heart on the book page back ground. These buntings could be hung around the classroom and strung together. How cute, bright, cheerful, and educational!
