Laura organized our Valentine's Day party and it was a huge hit! We had crafts, games and of course treats! Laura even tied in learning with each activity. "We have a total of 45 puzzle pieces. How many pieces does each student get to use to make their heart?" BJ did the division problem while the Tots put them into five different groups. "How many more conversation hearts would BJ have needed to get to beat Paula's record?" I added in, "Can anyone make a sentence with the conversation hearts they collected?" "No." I have a bunch of math lovers who don't like to write much! :) At the end of the day each child was sent home with a valentine's goody bag. Claire had a huge smile on her face and said, "This was so fun! Thank you Laura!"
I had not planned to have a formal exchange (decorated shoebox) of valentine's since we only have five students. However, everyone made a homemade valentine for each of their classmates and for me! It was so sweet to see how excited they were to give each other their valentines! Jack was sick, so both Jorge and Claire made sure that Laura delivered Jack their valentines.
