"I moved my usual Valentine exchange to Wixie, and I'm realizing that this increases equity! All my students got the same project, all of them have the same tools, all of them have had the same opportunities to learn Wixie tricks, they all have the same opportunity to participate."
Use these examples of projects created by students and tweets from classroom teachers to inspire your activities in your classroom for Valentine's Day.
Wixie's Curriculum Activities and Design Templates libraries include a range of templates with a Valentine's theme you can assign to encourage students to practice sorting, writing, comparing, and more.
Get students to create, not just consume and design their own Valentine's Day cards.
Have students create a Wixie project to share their feelings about a favorite relative. Be sure to share!
After reading I Love You, A Rebus Poem by Jean Marzollo, students find three rhyming words and do the backwards thinking necessary to come up with a poem ending in "I love you." Online cards can be sent to family and friends.
Wixie includes choice boards you can use to empower students to determine how they would like to show their learning.
