Valentine Activities, Grandparents' Day and Box Study

Candy Heart Sorting and Graphing

Each child was given a box of candy hearts. They had to open the box and sort the hearts by color on the sorting sheet, count the hearts and then color one space for each heart on the graph. They all whipped through this activity easily and then were able to eat their candy hearts.

Valentine Party

The children decorated bags for all of their Valentine goodies. I put Valentine cards in our writing center and the children had a blast writing cards for all their friends. Each child passed out Valentine cards to their friends at our party and then they enjoyed cookies and juice boxes.

Grandparents’ Day

I love Grandparents' Day at St. James. This day really gives us a chance to shine and show off everything we do at this school. The children did so well on their performance. I also enjoyed seeing and visiting with all the grandparents!

Box Study

We have moved on to the box study.  A simple box is endlessly fascinating to young children.  Perhaps more than any other toy or game, boxes have the power to hold children’s attention and spark their imagination in astonishing ways.  

Our focus question this week was what can we do with boxes?  Check back in a couple of weeks to see what we turned our boxes into and the celebration we had!
