Valentine's Day

We had so much fun celebrating Valentine's Day and talking about friendship and love this week.  We started the week learning how to sign "I love you" and making a special gift for our parents.  The kids loved painting, gluing, and using a sharpie marker to make their very special Valentine frames!

We also made a card that had our hand prints in the shape of a heart (I know as a mom I cherish anything with their hand prints or feet prints on it, and this is one of my favorites).

We learned about symmetry when we made paper hearts to decorate the windows!

We love to practice our writing on the chalkboard.  This guy was so proud of his new word this week.

The kids thought it was so cool rolling 2 dice and stamping out the total number, and it was a fun way to practice addition.

To get ready for the big party, the kids decorated their very own mailboxes.  They turned out great and were very festive.

The party was a HUGE success thanks to Mrs. Jaime, Mrs. Amy,  and all of the parents who were able to attend and help out.  The kids had fun graphing their candy hearts.

Playing a very fun game that test their fine motor skills called "Pass the Heart"

And "Heart Lava" had them thinking one step ahead!  They had to plan out what they were going to do to make it across the lava pit without touching the "lava"!

By the end of the day, the kids left with their mailboxes full of Valentines,

their bellies full of sugar, and their hearts full of love.  Thank you again for all that you do.  I truly do have the BEST job in the whole world!  I am so blessed.
