Valentines Day Kindness Gram Crafts

Help me give my students Valentines Day books and craft materials so they can make kindness grams for their friends.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. DeChellis Library's classroom raised $341

This project is fully funded

My Project

In our Library we will be spending the month of February focusing on kindness. Throughout this month we will be reading different books on Valentines Day and ending the month reading books on kindness. Students will end the month by making kindness grams for one another. We will be using the materials from this Donors Choose project to decorate our kindness grams. We will also be using the themes and ideas from our books we read to help us form our sentences to make sure our friends know how special they are to us.
