Teaching Tip: February Lesson Plan Ideas

Looking for some great ideas to include the theme of February in your lessons? We have a bunch.

1. February is African American History Month. Here are some lesson ideas.

2. February 4th is Rosa Park's birthday.

3. February 11th is National Inventors' Day. Perfect time for a science fair.

4. National Weatherman's Day. Why not have students predict and track the weather? Then compare to the actual results. This can be a writing or a scientific method activity.

5. Valentine's Day - We have 60 lesson ideas for you on that one.

6. Presidents' Day - We have a ton of ideas in our Presidents' Day guide.

7. Feb. is Love Your Pets Month - Have students write a thank you letter to their pets. More ideas can be found here.

8. Superbowl Sunday - include a football themed game to review your content. Each correct answer is worth 10 yards. An incorrect answer is a turn over. Make 10 slots on your board and break the class into 2 teams.

Jokes You Can Tell in Class

My son was only 5 feet, 8 inches tall when he left for college in the fall. He worked through the Christmas holidays and didn't return home again until the February break.

When he got off the plane, I was stunned at how much taller he looked. Measuring him at home, I discovered he now stood at 5 feet, 11 inches. He was as surprised as I. "Couldn't you tell by your clothes that you'd grown?" I asked him.

"Since I've been doing my own laundry," he replied, "I just figured everything had shrunk."
