February is busy, busy, busy!
First off, Valentine's Day!
1st grader: Why do we have Valentine's Day?
Me: Um.... to show we love each other.
1st grader: Ok! Cool!
Me: *walks to computer to Google it*
And that's how this mini-unit was born! Without getting too religious, I teach my students about the Legend of St. Valentine and they love it! It's a fun, interactive mini-unit that can take a week or one day! It's whatever you want it to be. I made it a few years ago but updated it today!
If you like the format of my Martin Luther King mini-unit, you will enjoy this one! This mini-unit is a great way to teach your students why we celebrate Valentine's Day (without being too religious).

One of my favorite days of the year! The 100th day of school! I don't know what teacher thought "You know what would be fun? If we made the 100th day of school a big deal?" Well whoever you are, teacher out there, I SALUTE YOU! I love 100's day!
This 100's Day Book is perfect for your 100's day!
Need something simple, fun, and engaging for your K-2 kiddos on 100's day? With just a click, print and a staple in the left corner?! You've got it here in this 100's Day Book!
It's simple enough students can work on it on their own, but also tied to the curriculum (reading, writing, and math). You can work on one or two pages each day, not even make it into a book (use the pages individually) or you can use the whole book on the 100th day! It's up to you!
The book can be up to 19 pages (including the cover).
I've differentiated many of the pages as well. There is a kinder version, 1st grade version and 2nd grade version!
