Valentine's Projection 2018

This year, I decided to cause got my students consummate a exceptional Valentine's project. I realized a few weeks agone that this is the begin yr since I started didactics where I forgot (oops!) to cause got my students celebrate National Letter Writing Week inwards January. To brand upwardly for it, I decided to cause got my students write exceptional notes to every unmarried schoolhouse employee inwards our edifice (all 26 of them) that would hold out delivered on Valentine's Day.

To kicking off the project, I typed upwardly the hollo of everyone who plant inwards our building: principal, secretaries, tech guy, teachers, paraprofessional (yes, that's supposed to hold out singular), janitor, too cafeteria workers. I printed each hollo inwards large font (HVD Comic Serif Pro, for the record) on a slice of 11 x 17 cardstock (affiliate link).


Next, I used the shape tool to describe equally many hearts equally possible on a canvas of 8.5 x xi paper. I made lots of copies of this template on diverse sheets of colored paper.


I lined all of the posters roughly the forepart of my room, too my students went to move adding private valentine messages to each person.


For a few days, I gave my students the warm-up inquiry of "Write a Valentine" instead of the normal math problem. This meant that completing this projection didn't cause got much extra shape fourth dimension at all.


One of my classes who was ahead of the other classes sorted the posters past times hallway to hold out delivered 2d hr on Valentine's Day. My minute hr broke upwardly into 3 groups to deliver the Valentine's to each split hall of the school.

As I went through the schoolhouse for the residual of the day, it was fun to encounter my students' Valentine masterpieces displayed proudly past times their recipients.







I haven't hung mine upwardly yet, simply I postulate to produce then soon. I gauge y'all could nation my desk is currently a mess!


Here's a peek at some of the Valentine's Day messages I received.

The lemon bars I oftentimes brand for Cookie Club got a mention!



Some messages were a chip on the light-headed side!



This message on Mr. Carter's poster made me giggle.



I used to acquire frustrated when I would encounter teachers on twitter part what their schools did to celebrate them on diverse holidays. I lost then much joy comparison what my schoolhouse was doing for me (usually nothing) amongst what other schools were doing for their teachers. It took a few years, simply I learned that I tin cause got actions to brand the days of the people roughly me. It turns out that this approach is to a greater extent than fulfilling than anything anyone else could always produce to demo me appreciation. I cause got to a greater extent than ability than I often realize to brand another's day. And, I postulate to cause got wages of that power.

I produce believe I've started a novel tradition at my school.
