I {heart} February!

With January nearly over, I spent part of my lunch on Friday laminating and getting ready for all things February....hearts, love and friendship!

 

Here's a peek at some of my activities, games, and centers from my newest unit,

I {Heart} You - A Friendship Unit!

(A perfect unit to do during the month of February)

 

It's full of activities that your students can work on individually, with a partner, or in a small group.  Many centers focus on turn-taking, co-operation and problem-solving with another friend.

 

Word Family Delivery -> a fun way to practice word families...matching the word family word to the mailbox.

 

Secret Messages -> open up the envelope and read the sight word.  Write it in the letter boxes that fit the word.

 

Terrific Ten-Frames -> find the ten-frame that matches the number and color the correct number of dots.

 

Lots of Letters -> write the correct order of the letters

(I have the same activities for number order included)

 

Fair Share Treats -> place the cookies on the cookie tray to see if they can be sorted fairly

 

I {Heart} Patterns -> an easy assessment piece for patterning

 

To Sum It All Up -> use heart erasers to add up the equations and match them correctly.

 

Cookie Making Fun -> building cookies using different fractions.

 

Heart Breakers -> beginning sound match

 

This is one of my favorite co-operative games...Missing Match Ups.

Students work in pairs of small groups and play this game like memory (flip all the cards over and find a pair).  But....one card is left out.  They have to use the board to cover-up each pair they find and guess which card was left out.

If you are like me and plan on doing a little something for Groundhog Day (which falls next weekend - so I'm going to be using this unit this week)...take a peek at my Happy Groundhog Day unit.

 

We did so many fun activities from it last year which I plan on doing again this year.

We even got a letter delivered to us from Mr. Groundhog himself telling us what the outcome of Groundhog Day was (2 versions included).

 

 

Here's our adorable prediction chart we did.
