Hey, y’all! I just uploaded a fun little Valentine’s Day Mini-Unit made to use with the books Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (by Judi Barrett) and The Day it Rained Hearts (by Felicia Bond). It’s perfect to add to your Valentine’s activities, use with “ai”/”ay” words, use with comparing and contrasting, or if you’re studying weather {shockingly, we’re doing all FOUR this week!!!!}.
The mini-unit will be ON SALE for $5.50 until Wednesday and will then return to regular price of $6.50 after that. The unit includes:
-
1 Literacy Center: ai/ay word sort {a play on The Day it Rained Hearts} + corresponding recording sheet
-
1 Literacy Center: noun/verb word sort {with words from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs} + corresponding recording sheet
-
4 printable activity sheets that correspond to the books
-
3 art project ideas
Here’s a sample of one of the art activities/printables included:
Go snag ya one if you’re still on the prowl for lovey dovey activities 🙂
Have a great day!!!!

We must be on the same page. We're startin ai/ay tomorrow, nouns/verbs, and my student teacher is starting her unit on weather tomorrow! Thanks so much!
i love this activity! are you using the houghton mifflin reading program? it looks like you are because those are the things we are covering too!
great idea!
We are also doing /ay/ and /ai/ this week!! However our Comprehension skill is Making Predictions. I guess I'll have to get over to TPT and check it out!!! I love both books.
Cute ideas! I love your writing activity! I love using a variety of literature when I'm teaching.
I just posted about a quick last minute Valentine's activity too.

Hey Abby,
I love your ADORABLE Valentine's Day ideas. I included a link to some cute bulletin board ideas that match The Day It Rained Hearts.
I bought your mini unit this morning before school started! I can't wait to use it next week. It is going to go perfectly with what we are already doing. THANKS!!
I used this unit and the kids did such a great job! Their writing samples were just so great, especially those who wrote about wanting meatballs to rain from the sky 🙂 Thanks!
