This book's 80 exciting pages are filled with a wide variety of lesson ideas and activities designed for use with primary children. At its core are two high-quality children's literature selections, The Valentine Bears and One Zillion Valentines, and an original, reproducible book, My Heart Book. For each of these books, activities are included which set the stage for reading, encourage the enjoyment of the book, and extend the concepts gained.

In addition, the theme is connected to the curriculum with activities in language arts (including daily writing suggestions), math, science, social studies, art, music, and life skills. Many of these activities encourage cooperative learning.

Furthermore, directions for student-created Big Books and culminating activities, which allow students to synthesize their knowledge in order to produce products that can be shared beyond the classroom, highlight this very complete teacher resource.

This book includes:

• literature selections - summaries of two children's books and an original, nonfiction manuscript with related lessons (complete with reproducible pages) that cross the curriculum
• poetry - suggested selections and lessons enabling students to write and publish their own works
• planning guides - suggestions for sequencing lessons each day of the unit
• writing and language experience ideas - daily suggestions as well as writing activities across the curriculum, including Big Books
• bulletin board ideas - suggestions and plans for student-created and/or interactive bulletin boards
• homework suggestions - extending the unit to the child's home
• curriculum connections - in language arts, math, science, social studies, art, music, and life skills
• group projects - to foster cooperative learning
• a culminating activity - which required students to synthesize their learning to produce a product or engage in an activity that can be shared with others
• a bibliography - suggesting additional literature and nonfiction books on the theme
