February Teaching Resources

Hey there everyone! I have a lot of great resources for you for all of the things going on this month-Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day, President's Day, Mardi Gras, and if you're like me and didn't start school until September, 100s Day! I also linked up with the second grade teachers for the I Teach Second Linky!  We are giving away a $25 gift certificate so be sure to read the information at the end of this post to see how to enter to win! 

First, let's check out a few ideas for Groundhog Day! Since there isn't much time until Groundhog Day, here are just some quick links to freebies! 

My friend Sally from Elementary Matters has a few great things.
Check out her product called Don't Let the Groundhog See his Shadow!

She also has a fun combo product called Groundhog Day and Super Football Math Problems! 

Sheila Melton has a cute and fun Groundhog Day Freebie for gr. 1.

This year, Mardi Gras is February 9th. Check out a few fun resources!

More than Math by Mo  has a neat Mardi Gras Sentences Freebie which looks good for grades K-1.

Sally hits the mark again with a fun Mardi Gras and Valentine's Day combo math product!

DLTK's website has some fun Mardi Gras Craft ideas!

 Now, the 100th Day of school for me is February 10th. Some of you in other parts of the country are well past in, but in case you aren't, check out my blog post with 100 ideas for 100s Day! 

Also, Mrs. Jones' Creation Station  has a fun 100th Day Freebie.

You can also grab my 100 Random Acts of Kindness Freebie. It's a great template to use for a class lesson on Random Acts of Kindness and/or could be used on the 100th day of school. Brainstorm ideas with your class and have them record it on here!

Tip Junkie has some fun ideas for how to celebrate 100s Day too.

Let's get to what may be the children's favorite holiday this month, Valentine's Day. I have some fun blog posts from the last few year.  

Here is a blog post I did with fun ideas for Valentine's Day mailboxes note that some of the images in my Valentine's Day posts are not showing up right now - I  thought I fixed them but I will go back in the next few days and get them straightened out)!

I have a blog post with lots of Valentine Ideas - Candy, no candy and more !

Here's my blog post with Valentine's Day books, crafts and more.

I have some fun products in my TPT store, including Valentine's Day Homophone Fun. 

 There is also Valentine's Day Antonym Fun if your class needs more practice.

 If you want a combination of fun activities for language arts for Valentine's Day, check out my Sweet Language Arts Pack!

Finally at my store, you can grab my Valentine's Day Writing Prompt Collection! There really are some "sweet" options, including a prompt that asks students what they think love is. The responses I get for that one are priceless.

Pocketful of Centers  has a fun Conversation Hearts Language Arts  product which is free and would be fun for grades  K-1.

A Cupcake for the Teacher's Love is...,  is a class book for Valentine's Day and another freebie.

President's Day comes quickly after Valentine's Day. 

Elementary Matters continues to amaze me with her diverse offerings - she has a  great product called  Which Patriotic Holiday. Emily from Education to the Core has a fabulous beginning reader freebie for George Washington. You know I will be using that with my class!

    

Freekidscrafts.com has a terrific resource page for President's Day crafts.

And finally, great to use anytime this month, try either of my Mentor Text Products - my Mentor Text unit for Jan Brett's The Hat, or my Mentor Text unit for Virginia Burton's Katy and the Big Snow!
