Valentines
LITERACY
|
 Working with the Five Valentines Interactive Big book |
We patterned Valentine erasers bought at the Dollar Store |
 We spent all morning cutting up scrap construction paper into small pieces to make out heart mosaics. They turned out really nice. |
 |
 We practices pouring using red hots. Of course the best part was eating one afterwards! |
 We brainstormed about what loves means to us and then we made a predictable chart of responses. |
 We made a flip book of who we love. Under each flap the child has drawn a picxture of who they love. I took dictation on why they love that person. |
|
 |
 Science project- placed a white daisy in red food coloring. |
We sorted conversation hearts by color and then used the work sheet to record the data. And of course we got to eat one when finished! |
 We made some bird feeders for our hungry winter birds. |
Children count the number of beads on each heart and then put them in numeric order. |
 We estimated how many red hots I could hold in my hand. |
We estimated how many conversational hearts would fit inside our drawn heart. Then we counted them to find the actual number. |
 Decorating our Valentine bags getting ready for our party on Thurs.! We used heart doilies, stickers, foam stickers, stamps, crayons and our imaginations. |
This is part of our quilt for this month- ABB patern |
We made "love bug" valentine cards for our parents |
Windsocks |
 During our class Valentine party we made the love bug cards, decorated cookies or pop tarts (their choice) with icing and sprinkles, played some Valentine games, and had a heart painted on our face or arm. |
This was my Valentine's gift to the children and their parents. Use a conversational heart box with cellophane on front. Cut child's photo to fit and tape inside. Tape top closed. Attach a magnetic strip to the back. |
