Happy February!

After the holidays and what seems like the very looooong month of January, it is always a treat to have a short month!  My Students and I always look forward to celebrating Valentines Day!  One of the things I like to do is to let them know all of the reasons why I love my class with a door display!
 

You can read all about it and get started on your own door here.  It's a FREEBIE! If you have gotten started too late, you can always do it on Valentines Day with all of the hearts at once, or pin it for next year!

I also have another Valentines Day freebie for upper elementary teachers - Adding and Subtracting Mixed Numbers Task Cards.

For even more Valentines Day inspiration, check out this Pinterest board.  There are over 180 ideas pinned right now and I am constantly adding as I find new ideas!
