We've been all about hearts, love, and valentines the last couple weeks.
Raining Hearts on the Parachute
I might have to do a separate post about how we used a favorite song with the parachute this year to make it "rain hearts." It was so fun.
Lots of pink, purple, and red painting...
Hearts and Playdough
Both classes became really interested in creating and comparing the different sizes of hearts.
Invitation to Create Valentines
This was a simple set-up, with various materials to freely create valentines. It stayed really busy the whole time, and I loved seeing many students creating and writing who don't always choose writing activities.
We used our dramatic play mailbox to "send" valentines to friends in the class.
I even got a few sweet little valentine creations that made me smile. :)
I loved watching different pairs of friends writing each other's names, drawing pictures, and then sharing little notes with each other.
Fine Motor and Sensory Exploration
We used pipettes to explore what happens to Sweethearts candies in water.
Water Beads Sensory Bin
We pulled out the pipettes again to experiment with different colors on heart doilies.
L-O-V-E- Spells LOVE
We also talked a lot about the word love, including writing about things that we love
and singing about how to spell the word.
