Happy HEART Day!

We had a "LOVELY" Day celebrating Valentines today!  This process started several days ago!
We started by creating our Valentine bags so we could begin "mailing" our valentines.  We had a choice to make:

a bear,

a rabbit,

or a frog!  (Bag ideas from Kimberly Jordano)

They turned out precious!

Then they picked a friend and created a heart together!  I took their picture with their finished heart! 

I attached it to the heart along with their writing!  This picture is always one of their

favorites in their scrapbook and in our movie at the end of the year!

We created our valentine kids and made old fashioned valentines for them to hold!

We made a Friends can, have, are chart!  I saw this on Pinterest!  I think Mrs. Plant?!?

Our Kim Adsit valentine people!

Abby inspired our valentines for our parents!  These turned out so cute!  I don't have a finished picture of

the final product but trust me they were precious!

Here we are measuring with pennies, paperclips, cubes, and candy hearts.

Mailing valentines is fun!  So is receiving them :)!

Happy Valentines Day!

I gave the kids playdough hearts! (Idea from Pearls, Handcuffs, and Happy Hour)

I also gave them cotton candy cones! (Also from Pearls, Handcuffs, and Happy Hour)

I also gave them Love Juice!  Idea and printables from Tatertots and Jello!

Hope your Valentines Day was "LOVELY", too!

More Valentine Photos

Who doesnt' LOVE Splat?  This Splat is from Cara Carroll.  The candy kiss idea is from Kimberly Jordano (I think).  Kimberly has WONDERFUL ideas and I've been lucky enough to see her several times at the Frog Street Press conference, in Dallas.
Inside the kiss, is a six-page "ch" book. On each page, the students wrote a few sentences describing the "ch" picture.

The "church" page was the most interesting.  One child wrote, "Church is where I have to be quiet." AMEN

Valentine Door and Parent Gift

Finally, I finished my valentine door.  The photo props were from Pinterest.  Also, on Pinterest, I saw cupcake liner flowers.  After the students made the flowers, I glued them to a foam frame.  On February 14th, the students will wrap their photos and give them to their parents. 

More Valentine's Day photos coming soon!
