About a month ago, I drew a picture of an idea on a pink post-it note.
Yesterday, I finally turned it into something!
What do you think?!
valentine, i "chews" you! {a craftivity} is a cute little pack that would be just perfect for Valentine's Day!! Your little ones will make a sweet bubblegum Valentine for whoever they "chews!" :) Or, you could use the completed projects to create a fun February display!
I also included two writing pages in the packet:
Students can write a note to their Valentine...
...as well as describe the best Valentine's gift!
Writing pages are also available with secondary lines.
If you're interested in valentine, i "chews" you! {a craftivity}, then hop on over to my TpT shop for a closer look! :) I hope you LOVE it!!!
And before I run, I have an adorable incentive idea to share with you! The idea comes from Mrs. Sheehan of Learning in Wonderland. It's a compliment jar! Here's mine:
Every time our class receives a compliment-- whether it be for working quietly, walking in an orderly line, or behaving during specials-- we will earn a star in the jar! Once we earn 12 stars, we'll "celebrate" with a little something, like free time or a yummy snack. Today we earned two stars... my littles are trying really hard to fill up the jar! I'm so glad I stumbled upon this idea, because it was the just the incentive we needed after holiday break!
I'm off to grab some dinner... have a great night!!
Congrats to #29, Charlotte!

Your craft is adorable, as always!!
Love that compliment jar - so cute!
Oh my gosh.. that gumball machine is SO, SO cute! and so is the stationary that goes with it. It's on my TPT wishlist now. I love the compliment jar idea too! I may start that with my class when we go back. I like it better than the marbles I've used before. Thanks for sharing these great ideas! Take care.

This is adorable.
Also, I'm a tad jealous. I jot down ideas on post-its all the time and half of the time I look at it later I have no idea what I was thinking! lol

Fun idea! I do the same thing! I Have done the Mr. Potato head and they earned a potato chip party! (did the craziest favors!) I'm now doing brownie pieces to earn brownies!
I love the Valentine's activity. I'm so glad that you decided to jot it down one day and finally make it into a project. I can't wait to use it with my students.
