Use art to help students connect to literature. Have them draw pictures to illustrate vocabulary words. This has been done in classrooms for more than twenty years. Try this at home.
Draw hearts with a white crayon on index cards or precut watercolor paper squares. Next, soak a watercolor brush in water, such as a size 12 used here.
Dip the soaked brush into a paint tray and cover the white paper square with that color. Make two of each color. Allow them to dry and then play a matching game with them.
There was a clever crayon resist Valentine project on Instagram. I don’t remember who posted it but here it is borrowed so that you can have fun making it with your child.
I've discovered a new author by the name of James Ponti. I'm currently reading book 1 in a three book series titled, Framed, with a student. His books are particularly enjoyed by middle school age boys because of his humorous style and use of sarcasm. In this first, book, Florian the main character teams up with his new friend Margaret to uncover a mystery that takes place in the National Gallery. They decipher clues and have quite an adventure in this first book. At the conclusion of this book, we plan to write to the author and let him know what we thought of his book. Book 2 is titled, Vanished! Book 3 is titled, Trapped!

I adore books about wildlife.
