Valentine's Day Preparations

Valentine's Day is a favorite with first graders! They love cutting hearts, decorating cards, and making pockets for all their goodies. It's hard to contain the excitement this week, and they will be more than ready by Friday to open cards from all their friends.
We fold and decorate heart shaped pockets, and then put them up in alphabetical order so the kids can play "post office" and deliver the mail on Friday.
We've practiced cutting hearts with several other projects, and the kids are getting really good at it now.

We go through quite a lot of paper with this project!

The pockets get really full by the time everyone has delivered their valentines.
The rest of the pictures speak for themselves!











Happy Valentine's Day!
