The 4 Valentine's Day poems in the collection are:

* "Cupid Shot My Teacher" (poem for 4 readers)

* "Charlie Gave Me Chocolates" (poem for 2 readers)

* "I Used to Work for Cupid" (poem for 3 readers)

* "I've Had a Lot of Valentines" (poem for 2 readers)

Each poem is presented as a 1- to 2-page stand-alone script. A compilation script is also provided with all 4 poems from the collection woven into a single script, making it so a group of students has a longer script to practice and perform.

The scripts include lists of “Watch-out Words!” This feature highlights challenging words for which students may need help as they practice. These words also make terrific candidates for classroom vocabulary instruction.

If you choose to do script-based vocabulary instruction, a Word Work vocabulary activity is provided that uses four of the “Watch-out Words!” from the 4-poem compilation. A Sample Answer Key is also provided.

For a classroom reading block, readers’ theatre can be used as a student-monitored station during small-group instructional time. The Weekly Practice Checklist provides a framework for students’ day-by-day practice.

For a bit of bonus reading, students can enjoy the 1-page Valentine's Day factsheet: "Surprising Facts about the Heart-shaped Holiday," which is also included.

Additional materials include a basic overview of readers' theatre, numerous tips and tricks for successful implementation, and a listing of some of the applicable Common Core Standards for grades 3-5.

CUPID SHOT MY TEACHER: A VALENTINE'S DAY SILLY POEMS COLLECTION is a great fit for third-grade, fourth-grade, fifth-grade, and sixth-grade classrooms. It is ready to provide a fast, funny, and favorite source of Valentine's Day readers' theater fluency practice for your students!
