Happy Heart Day!

Since we had a noon dismissal, we weren't able to squeeze too many Valentine themed activities into our day. We did have fun, nonetheless!

A popular activity that I have done for a few years now involves conversation heart candies. The kids' favorite part is being able to eat their candies at the end of the assignment!

 

Activity from this fabulous unit by one of my favorite teacher bloggers, Lindsey, The Teacher Wife.

For our writing activity, the kids did a fill-in-the-blank poem called Things I Love. This poem was a reminder to the kids that poems do not have to rhyme! Here is a video of some of the kids reading their poems.



We spent our last hour passing out Valentines and enjoying birthday cupcakes in celebration of one of our 2nd grade friends who was born on Valentine's Day! The ribbons had balloons attached, but they couldn't fit in the photo.
