During class writing time, we wrote sentences about love. The kids had a good time coming up with these fun sentences!
We had a lot of fun at centers this week! Here are a few highlights:
Stamping word wall words
Matching numbers and ten frames
Stamping beginning sounds
Playing short vowel word lotto
Building mystery word wall words
Measuring hearts with candy hearts
Matching equations with teen numbers
Addition stamping
Valentine word writing around the room
Sorting real and nonsense words
Adding numbers and covering up the answers with Hershey Kisses
Writing about the people we love

During math time, we talked more about the partners of ten and played a game with candy hearts where we had to find the missing partner of ten, (like we did with the marshmallows last week). This time around, we also added recording our number sentences. The kids had a good time with this game!We also played a game on our own where we rolled a number, marked it in a ten frame, and found the missing partner of ten.
We did some Valentine's addition.
And we had a fun data and graphing activity this week! We taste tested Hugs and Kisses and voted for our favorite.
The kids enjoyed every minute of it!
Here were our results. Six people liked kisses, 19 people liked hugs.
We met for a a math meeting at the carpet and put our results into some ten frames and discussed which side was greater and which side was less.

During writing time this week, we took a candy heart and turned into something new to write about. Evelyn made a cheetah.Ivory made a baby with a binkie.
Brecken made a bear. They turned out great and the kids had fun ideas.
We also made some large Hershey Kisses and wrote about if we like hugs or kisses from our families the best and why. These will be in their end of year portfolios!
We also did a quick lesson and review on plural nouns. We sorted animals into barns that were singular or plural.
Then we made a class big book where one side had only one of everything and the other side had more than one of everything.
Their favorite part was sharing their work with the class!

Friday was the big day! The day of the Valentine's party and the kids were just a little excited. We started off the day decorating bags to hold our valentines.The kids used all sorts of hearts, stickers, and googly eyes to make fun creations!
Our party was a great success! Thank you to all of the moms and dads who came in and helped or sent items in for the party. I appreciate all that you do to help with these events! The kids got to decorate heart-shaped sugar cookies, make a love bug craft, play a cupid's arrow game, and play a candy heart toss game. Here are some pictures!
After we were done with the rotations for the party, we lined up our Valentine's bags and then passed out our valentines for each other.
The kids all went home with a huge bag full of goodies and had a great last day on track.
See you all in March...and get ready to celebrate the 100th day of school when we get back! :)
