How to Use Canva to Create Custom Valentine's Day Cards for Kids to Share

Now that Groundhog Day has come and gone, Valentine's Day is the next holiday that my daughters are looking forward to celebrating. Yesterday, both of them came home from school with letters from their teachers about Valentine's Day activities planned for their classrooms. The activities are mostly the exchange of little cards between classmates. I'm sure that some of you who teach pre-K and early elementary school grades have similar activities planned for your classroom. If you find that you need some templates for printing cards that your students can exchange, take a look at Canva

Canva has lots of templates that have a Valentine's Day theme. You can use one of those templates to create some printable cards. In this short video I demonstrate using a couple of different template formats to create Valentine's Day cards for kids.

Television news reporters like to use the word "extreme" whenever we have a lot of rain or snow in a short amount of time. Is the weather really "extreme" or is that just our impression of it? The following Minute Earth video takes on the topic of how extreme weather affects our thinking about weather patterns in general. I found the video to be interesting from a psychology perspective. The video is embedded below.
