Valentine's Day

Even the snow couldn't stop us from showing our love for one another! We started off our morning by using conversation candy hearts to do various math activities. We created a bar graph, added and subtracted, and created a pattern.

Once math was over, we each made a card for someone we love. Last week, we learned the parts of a letter, so it was the perfect time to practice writing a letter. We all made sure we had a heading, greeting, body, closing, and signature on our card.

After we all created cards, we thought about various things we LOVE! It was so cute to see the things they came up with!

To finish our day, we exchanged valentines with our classmates. I even let them eat one piece of candy when they were finished (oops!)

February Bulletin Boards

For this month's bulletin board, my kiddies wrote a narrative paragraph telling what they would do if they had a love-bot. I told them to imagine their love-bot was their valentine for Valentine's Day and to think of things they would do with them. We came up with a list of ideas including buy them flowers, go to the movies, go out to dinner, buy them jewelry, and make them breakfast. Then we created our cute little love-bots. They got a kick out of them!

We were learning about fractions, so I had my students color parts of shapes and write the fraction they colored in on each shape. 

February is American Heart Month, so my students wrote two things they do to keep their heart healthy. They had so much fun creating their healthy heart characters!
