Non Fiction Freebie and Valentine Writing

We are almost finished our Penguin unit and I have to say I am kinda done with penguins for this year. I love them and all, but I am ready to move on to Valentine's Day and then, next week - the 100th Day!
In the midst of all that furry penguin goodness, I discovered that my kids were right into the Non Fiction/Fiction aspect of our penguin books, especially when we started writing our penguin reports. At one point, I had to bring all the non fiction penguin books to the front to sort of separate them from the made up stories and that, of course, got me thinking, so I made a helpful little poster. Non Fiction style.

If you'd like a copy, just click the pic. I'll be back later in the week with the Fiction version, still working on it. 

As for Valentine's Day, I decided that we needed to follow the example set in this sweet little story.

I love this story, it's so cute! I had my kids draw names for this one, they used the hearts I made below. For the first heart, they could give it to whomever they wanted, but for the second one, they had to give it to the person whose name they had picked. So fun! I'll be back later to show you their letters. Just click on the hearts for your copy.

Need another sweet V story? This one is my all time favourite. The cover pretty much says it all.

As for this week, we are going sliding - can't wait, making our Valentine boxes and celebrating! Pics to come. I'd love to hear what you are doing for Valentine's Day.
