Here is what we started with for our unit study.
This unit study came from the Amanda Bennett site. This Valentine’s Day was so special for us because it was our 1 year Gotcha Day anniversary so I wanted to do a study as a part of all the fun stuff I had planned for the week. Here is a breakdown of the week.
Day 1: What Is Valentine’s Day?
Day 2: The History of Valentine’s Day
Day 3: Celebrating Valentine’s Day
Day 4: Science and Valentine’s Day
Day 5: Goodies and Gadgets of Valentine’s Day
Nadia got a kick out of making thumb-print hearts.

This is Nadia drawing the candy heart factory and the word phrases.

The girls made candy necklaces. It took Amelie a LONG time, but she didn’t give up and I was proud of her.
Here is Nadia’s completed lapbook.
We made lots of crafts and baked Valentine’s goodies. We learned about the human heart and how Hershey Kisses are made. I thought this was an all around fun unit.
