Giveaway Time!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

This post is going to be short and sweet.  I am here to announce I am participating in a couple GIVEAWAYS with other bloggers/TpTers.  To make things less confusing, I will share the first giveaway with you today, and the second later on in the week.


I donated my Heart-to-Heart lesson / activity to the "300 Follower Giveaway" by Amy from Eclectic Educating, who will be giving away many fabulous prizes to a couple lucky winners! 



With the Heart-to-Heart activity, your kiddos can celebrate Hearts Day by creating a Valentine's Day Figurative Language Booklet. They will make a separate page for various kinds of figurative language, including similes, metaphors, idioms, alliteration, personification, onomatopoeia, and hyperbole.  For more information, click here to read my blog post about this product. :-)

To enter the Eclectic Educating Giveaway, hop on over to Amy's page here, but do so quickly because the giveaway ends on Friday! :)

Good Luck, everyone!

Valentine's Day Linky Party!

Hello everyone! Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to host my first linky party! Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays. I know most people feel it's a commercial ploy, but I love the simplicity of the holiday. It's quick, easy, and doesn't have to be over the top. Plus, it's a way to spice up the very looooong winter we have here in New England. (I also do not mind receiving large bouquets of pink roses, either!)

For this linky party you may post a link to your blog or TpT store, highlighting a Valentine's Day freebie, idea, or paid product.  If you choose to link-up a blog post, don't forget to copy and paste the above graphic into your post and link it back to the party!

Check out the product I will be adding to the linky...




I created Heart-to-Heart with upper elementary students in mind.  Your kiddos can celebrate Hearts Day by creating a Valentine's Day Figurative Language Booklet. They will make a separate page for various kinds of figurative language, including similes, metaphors, idioms, alliteration, personification, onomatopoeia, and hyperbole.



On each page, students will record the definition of the kind of language highlighted, create a Valentine's Day related sentence with an example of that type of language, and illustrate their words.



There are many visuals provided in the product to help students review the concept of figurative language and the meanings of each type.



A vocabulary poster for each kind of figurative language is included, as well as a word bank to inspire creativity!


Heart-to-Heart is perfect for a language arts center, whole class assignment, or as a classroom Valentine's Day celebration activity!


Check out this product on TpT for more information. I hope you will find this useful for your classroom!

Thank you to everyone who joins my first ever linky party!
