Happy Valentine's Day

We started our morning with a Read Aloud of Clifford's First Valentine's Day and a game of Cupid Says (similar to Simon Says).

Math: We used Conversation Hearts to sort, record, and graph. Students sorted their own box of candy hearts by color on a sorting mat. They counted how many of each color they had and recorded it on a sheet. Finally they used both of those sources to compile a graph of their box, showing how many of each color were inside.

Cooking: We made heart sandwiches. We first cut bread out in the shape of a large heart. We then cut a small heart into one of the slices. Spread some Strawberry Jam between the layers and had a very charming heart sandwich.

P.E.: In honor of Valentine's Day we played hug tag. This game requires several "it"s and once you are frozen you become a statue. The only way to unfreeze a statue is by hugging them. The children have to not only avoid being tagged, but work to free their friends who have been caught.

Valentine's Party: After P.E. our WONDERFUL parent volunteers had set up an absolutely excellent Valentine's party which consisted of snacks ranging from zucchini bread, to jello, to applesauce, and even crackers. Students enjoyed the snacks before opening up the Valentine's that they had delivered to one another. We ended the day with a Read Aloud of Froggy's First Kiss

THANKS again to all my great parent helpers. We really appreciate ALL that you do!
