Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch

This is one of my FAVORITE stories, perfect for Valentine's Day! These activities are great for follow up after you've read the story as well as some activities to inspire kindness and celebrate others. You can use some of the writing activities throughout the whole month of February! Your students are sure to love this!!

If you don't have a copy, you can watch actor Hector Elizondo read it on http://www.storylineonline.net (I usually show this version because it's wonderful!! Hector does such a fantastic job reading the story and the kids can see the illustrations too!)
