Description
In Cranberry Valentine, Mr. Whiskers laments to Maggie and Grandmother that he’s never received a valentine. With a bit of help from Grandmother, all that changes—and Mr. Whiskers’ lament turns to worry as he wonders who is sending him valentines! The mystery keeps him on his toes throughout the story, but in the end, he learns to appreciate the attention.
This Mini Unit will make a memorable week of study for your whole family! Lessons cover concepts drawn from the story, which include: Working in Social Settings (Sewing Circle, Quilting Bee, etc.), a Valentine’s handicraft, Mystery Math (a.k.a. algebra), U.S. Postal History & The Pony Express, a tasty snack, and much, much more.
