Valentine's Day Lesson

For Valentine's Day on Tuesday I planned a lesson for one of my 5th grade classes. We learned some vocabulary, did a word search, and had a Valentine's Day card-making competition.

The ability level of this class is incredibly varied. I have a handful of students who are very good at English. I have some students who try very hard but struggle. And then I have a lot of students who seem to have no interest in learning English.

So many of these kids are so adorable, I get lots of hugs every time I see them in the hallway. I also think there is a game for students to see if I will say Hello back to every student who says Hello to me. (So far, I think I have.)

I think most of the kids really enjoyed the lesson. I'm always grateful when my students enjoy something I spent time working on.

Here are some pictures of their Valentine's Day creations:
