Description:
Our class is using Post-it® Notes to “spread the love” at our school for Valentine’s day. We are inviting other classes to write nice notes to friends or teachers on colored Post-it Notes that we can display in the shape of a heart on our HUGE classroom windows that face the entire campus’ main walkway. We are a self-contained special education class for 4th & 5th grade students with autism and this is our way to give back to our school. We will start by “using our words” to write how we feel about our friends and teachers on Post-it Notes to start the project. From there, we will use our social skills to ask other classes to help us with our project. Before we put each note up, we will read it to make sure that it is nice AND write a thank you note to thank them for participating. At the end, we will count to see how many nice notes we collected!
Instructions:
Step 1: Begin with the initial class and have each student write one nice thing about someone they know at school on a Post-it Note of their choice (either the fushia cube or the pink in the ultra colored cube).
Step 2: Have the student begin to put their notes on the window (or a bulletin board) in the shape of a large heart.
Step 3: Have the class begin to ask other children to participate in the project and watch the heart grow.
Step 4: Use the heart shaped Post-it Notes to make a sign for the display using one letter on each heart. "Spread the Love" is the title we are using.
