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 2nd is Ground Hog Day.

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

4. February 5th is Weatherman's Day. With most of North America experiencing a dry winter why not have students predict and track the weather? Then compare to the actual results. This can be a writing piece or a scientific method activity.

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

6. February 14th is Valentine's Day - We have 60 lesson ideas for you.

7. February 15th is Presidents' Day - See our Presidents' Day guide.

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

9. February is American Heart Month.

10. 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

As a professional animal trainer, I was disturbed when my own dog developed a bad habit. Every time I hung my wash out on the clothesline, she would yank it down.

Drastic action was called for.

I put a white kitchen towel on the line and waited. Each time she pulled it off, I scolded her. After two weeks the towel was untouched. Then I hung out a large wash and left to do some errands.

When I came home, my clean clothes were scattered all over the yard. On the line was the white kitchen towel.
