Valentine's Day is a very exciting day for 1st graders! They love to give and receive cards and candy, and it's especially fun since they can now read the messages on the cards! The kids made and decorated heart pockets, and since we have been learning about alphabetical order, we put them in ABC order in the commons area outside our door. During Centers time in the morning, several students at a time got to go out and deliver their valentines (under supervision of a parent volunteer - thanks, Mrs. Stodden!).
The pockets were literally overflowing by the time everyone was finished! It was hard to wait until after milk break for the grand opening, and it was a real trick getting all those goodies into the classroom without leaving a trail of candy and cards.
We made it!
Hey, I can read it!
Everyone had smiles as they sorted through their goodies.
Most of the kids wore pink or red clothing, and Ethan's shirt was especially appropriate - "Ladies Man"
Look at all this stuff! After opening everything, the kids got to choose one treat to eat, and then it was time to pack up, put it all away, and get ready for playtime.
Backpacks were really full yesterday!
Thanks, kids, for all the cards and treats for me, too!
Happy Valentine's Day!!
