This week we learned that Valentine's Day is about showing people that you care about them. We talked about how saying and doing nice things makes people happy. We also finished our Pete the Cat faces. In my last post, What do we know about clothes, I showed you pictures of the kids painting their Pete the Cat faces. On Monday my little artists finished the project. We found the idea for this project at Creativity Takes Flight.
Of course the finished cats had to be displayed by our Pete the Cat door!
We had one day this week that was warm enough for outdoor recess and this cutie drew Pete the Cat with sidewalk chalk!
I love seeing their creativity!
On Tuesday the afternoon class worked on a color and counting Valentine's book.
On Wednesday we decorated paper sacks for them to put their valentines in.
One of the morning sweeties brought in treats to share with his friends on Wednesday!
On Thursday we had our Valentine's Party and the kids passed out their valentines. We put a picture of each cutie by their name on their bag and set them up on the table. We called each sweetie over and helped them pass out their valentines. The kids did a great job of finding each person's picture/name and passing out their valentines!
These are the valentines I gave the kids. I found the idea and the free printable at Shanty 2 Chic. I gave the girls the Hugs and Kisses and the boys the gummy worms.
One of the sweet families in the afternoon class gave these personalized stuffed animals to each cutie and to the adults. To say we loved them would be an understatement! They were so excited and a few of them said it was their favorite part of the day!
We have some pretty amazing parents! We had two parents send in cupcakes for our party and they were a big hit!
We finished the day by sorting conversation hearts. After they sorted them by color they were able to eat a few and then they took the rest home.
After the afternoon class sorted their hearts they graphed them so that they could see how many they had of each color. Before they could eat their candy they had to tell us which color they had the most of and which color they had the least of.
We had a fun week! I hope that you all have a great Valentine's Day!
