Looking for an educational reading activity to do with your second and third graders on Valentine’s Day? Get them engaged in learning with a close read about CANDY HEARTS! They are everywhere in stores and classroom parties. But what do the kiddos really know about them or how this famous little treat came to be?
There is one informational text passage written at the stretch complexity band for second and third grade. It comes with one page of text-dependent questions and several culminating activities. One that I love is where the students have to look back at the reading to create a love note candy of their own. There is also a descriptive writing portion and an opinion writing piece. These are our focus questions/prompts to set the purpose for reading.
If you think you might want to bring a little sweet history into your February lessons grab the packet at my store.
