Valentine’s Day/Post Office/Mail

This was a busy week full of fun with time outside in the snow every day at school!  We started our week preparing for Valentine’s Day by making our own bags for our cards that we received on Friday from our friends and teachers!  This certainly helped us get in the Valentine Spirit as the week progressed.

In Dramatic Play, we had a Post Office that everyone loved, complete with a cash register, scales, stamps, boxes, envelopes and mail boxes for the children to exchange notes with one another.  Each day we needed to extend the number of people allowed as well as take turns to all have an opportunity for this fun!

We practiced our numbers to 30 this week as well as practiced writing our letters.  We also wrote some words to spell “Happy Valentine’s Day.” 

We had a great science experiment with a purple exploding heart where we became scientists and looked for changes (over 2 days).

We ended the week with an amazing Valentine’s Day Party that included cookies, fresh fruit and whipped cream…all favorites!  Thank you to Madison and Olivia O’Neill’s mom as well as JJ’s mom and Tripp’s mom for helping make this event super fun!  Thank you also to all of the families for sending in the parts and pieces to make this perfect (cookies, Napkins, plates etc).

Other highlights this week:

  • “Me Week” with Olivia Lacy was Awesome!  Thank you Olivia for a great poster all about you and for your mom who came in to read to us!
  • Excellent Math Bag from Olivia and Madison O’Neill!!
  • Number hiding games with hearts and puppies
  • Hide the Heart game and Heart Tag in the “Big Room”
  • Be Ahead of the Game where we focused on hand-eye coordination and balancing
  • Excellent games for big body play in the Big Room each morning!

We read numerous Valentine themed books this week to include friendship, love and kindness to all!

Warm Wishes,
