Valentines Day Celebration!

Our Class Valentines Party!


Daily Question: Are you ready for our class Valentines Party!?



Toys: Linkin blocks and The Littlest Pet Shop Toys. Free Play Time.


Snack: Red goldfish crackers, and Fuji apple slices.

Circle and Story Time:
Today we talked about the origin of Valentines Day. We read about Franklin's Valentines, The Day it A Rained Hearts, Valentine Bears and Valentine Mice. We also talked about making and giving a friendly card or Valentine. We had fun making our own take home Valentine books!


Craft Activity: We decorated Valentine Bags for our Valentine Exchange. (We missed Nathan today! We hope his ear feels better and are excited to see him again soon).


Thank you for the special Valentines you gave me!
I felt so loved and have the very best students ever!
