Valentine's Day is always a special day. It was a treat to spend it with such a sweet group of children!
The letter of the day was "C" and the day was filled with candy.
We counted candy into muffin tins numbered 1-12.
We sorted Valentine heart candies by color practicing the count and say strategy as well as organizing the candies in lines. Then we talked about who had the most or least of the colors. We graphed the results and discovered there were a lot more yellow candies than the other colors.
We also practiced making patterns. The children reviewed that patterns repeat and created AB patterns to demonstrate their understanding. Then we introduced a new pattern: ABB. The practiced making this new pattern and evaluated their peers' patterns. Sometimes they "caught" where the pattern didn't repeat and offered ways for the other child to fix it until they all proudly presented their very own final ABB patterns.
The children made Valentines to take home with plenty of glue, stickers and hearts.
They had a heart maze to practice their lines and writing skills.
The children had fun singing a Valentine song while passing out their Valentines to each other.
