Recognizing how each heart is special, Cornelia thoughtfully and carefully makes a valentine for each friend. \u00a0After sharing the story, first grade students completed several corresponding activities. \u00a0First, they identified character traits. \u00a0Creating our own raining heart display, students each selected a trait and identified evidence from the text to support that trait. \u00a0Then, students completed a written response determining what they would do if it rained hearts one day. \u00a0Finally, students made a precipitation wheel, identifying and defining forms of precipitation. \u00a0This afternoon, students were eager to complete a Valentine themed word work activity and addition fact game. \u00a0They enjoyed making valentines for our neighbors at Culpepper Place, exchanging valentines with classmates, and sharing special treats for snack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>If you are viewing this blog post in your email, you may not be able to see the picture gallery below.
