Valentine's Day!

Quick Post Alert.

My days and weeks have been filled with SNOW... lots and lots of SNOW!

Snow makes me want to cuddle up and sleep all day and night long... and that's pretty much all I've been doing! I did grab some treats for my kiddos in case we have school tomorrow.

Skittles, bubbles, and chocolate are up for grabs in those treat bags!

I whipped up that tag real quickly this afternoon and I thought I would share it here in case any other teachers were as big of a procrastinator as I am!

Just click the pic above to grab 'em!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Sweethearts or Sweet Tarts?! What's your opinion?

This week is going to FLY by! 

(If I say it, it must be true. Right?!)

We have Valentine's Day, a big dental presentation, and President's Day information to cover.

Bring - it - on!

We started off our week getting excited for V-Day by writing some opinion pieces:

Sweethearts or Sweet Tarts?

Which one do you like better?! 

My answer is easy.... Sweet Tarts! I DETEST Sweethearts... blek... I am gagging just thinking about them.

We reviewed writing opinion pieces and then my students got to taste each one.

 

Waiting patiently....

 and GO!

Next, students got to write reasons why they liked both:

Lastly, they wrote their opinion papers!

 This was such an easy writing lesson and the students loved getting to taste the different Valentine's Day candy. Lucky for me, most of my students liked the Sweethearts better. Which means I took home LOTS of Sweet Tarts! Happy Valentine's Day to ME!

On the agenda for tomorrow:

Love Tickets! Our parent gifts :)

These activities are just some of many in my Be Mine, Valentine Pack.

It will be on sale for only $2 until Friday!!

Engagement Photos and Valentine's Day!

Waaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!

I am sick. Eyes hurt, nose hurts, throat hurts. EVERYTHING HURTS... Wahhhhhh!!!!

Okay... done being a baby.

This is my last night on vacation at my parents' house and I am happy to say that it has been a BLAST! Parks and I celebrated our very first Christmas together, we visited so many friends and family andddd we took our engagement pictures! Eeeek!

We just took them yesterday but our awesome photographers already had some *sneak-peak* shots up on their facebook page. These are my 2 faves!

Tehehehe... I can't help but giggle, because I love them so dang much!!

 Kendra and Dan over at Lightshed Photography Studio did an amazing job - especially because I was so sick and it was fa-reezing outside! You can't even tell though can ya?!? You can click on either of the pictures to head to their facebook page and see some more of our pictures. I can't wait to see them all when they're finished!

Since I have been coughing up a lung the past 24 hours, I thought I would hunker down and finally finish my Valentine's Day pack I started a few weeks ago! I just uploaded it to TPT and I thought I would show you some highlights:

 

This pack has some different writing activities and crafts, perfect for Valentine's Day!

^^ some of the writing prompts included ^^

3 different crafts:

{Let's Make a Love Potion}:

A "how-to" writing craft in which students make a love potion for their Valentine using some of their Valentine's favorites treats and sweets!

 {Love Tickets}:

Super-easy coupon gifts for students to give as a parent gift! Students can use the pre-made tickets or write their own coupons for their parents to redeem.

 {Spread the Love - Community Building Activity}:
This is a follow-up activity to my Stocking Stuffers freebie we used last month. My kids l-o-v-e-d spreading the holiday cheer around the classroom and reading their notes so much that I thought I would continue the notes, but with a little twist! Instead of stockings, we now have our hearts that can be filled with notes!

To see the whole pack in more detail, download the preview at my TPT store.
