Valentine Week

We had so much fun this week talking about things that we LOVE!!!
On Tuesday, the children made their very own Valentine Decoration.
A little Hanging Heart...
You can do this with any shape...just cut out 4 the same size, fold in half & glue together with a ribbon in the center...simple & cute!


On Thursday, we had a Valentine's Day Party!
We made Valentine's for our parents, by dipping our hands in paint...

and pressing them down in "C" shapes, so that we made our very own handprint hearts...

We glued a ribbon on the back, so you could hang it somewhere in your house...

Then the FUN for the kids began!
We partied with POPCORN for our snack...
And then they each decorated their very own bag & then we gathered in a circle & one at a time, the kids were able to DELIVER their Valentine's that they brought to share with the kids in the class! They were all so excited to share & loved watching their bags fill up:)

The kids LOVE the following song & we sang it lots during this week!

"Skid-a-marink-a-dink-a-dink
Skida-marinka-do
I love you!
I love you in the morning,
and in the afternoon,
I love you in evening,
and underneath the moon!
Skida-marinka-dink-adink
Skida-marinka-do
I. LOVE. YOU!!!
