As a third grade teacher, I try to find an academic connection for all things cutesy and fun, otherwise I really can't justify it. :) If you're looking for a way to bring an academic focus to your Valentine's Day party, this may be right up your alley! Essentially, your students will choose books to write book reports about, then they will decorate their Valentine's Day boxes to represent them and present their reports in front of the class! It's a great way to turn something non-academic into a meaningful learning opportunity! Happy Teaching!

This was very helpful for our 3rd grade year-long genre study. I love that it fits right in with February being Black History month and Valentine's Day!

I would love to see more specific criteria for the writing of the report. Like complete sentences, correct capitalization and punctuation, details etc. But I was wavering on if it is too much with all the other stuff I am doing and just decided to go for it. Thanks so much for your great work.

Just a thought... I would love to see this with nonfiction options too! Any chance that's going to happen?? :). We are starting our nonfiction unit and that would be a great holiday project

One Extra Degree (TpT Seller)
I will most likely be adding that component. I thought about including it after introducing the idea to my kiddos. For my own needs, I really want them to focus on story elements that are commonly found in fictional stories, but that's based on our timing and skills this nine-weeks. I am going to try to add the nonfiction component this week...if I can fit it in. This week is going to be hectic! Thanks for the suggestion! :)
