Happy Valentine's Day!

Math...
We played a fun Valentine's Bingo game.

We started learning about number bonds!

Language Arts....
We have been doing a lot of reading as small groups and individually. It's been so great to see the excitement with kids as they start to recognize words and can read sentences. Yes, there is a fair amount of memorization, but hey, that's part of the beginning stages of reading. I love when they have read a book and then look up as if they are surprised with themselves that they have read the book. We also ask kids to point out individual words on a page. Also we ask questions like, what is at the end of the sentence? How many words make that sentence?

Book Corner.....
Splat the Cat

We made folders for all of our special cards/treats from friends. Then we shared what we had to give to our friends.

Lot's of "Thank You's" and "Wow, that was really nice of you." and "Nice card." Very grateful kids for their friends Valentine's.


Science...
We have been learning about the Structure and Function of the parts of the body. Today we talked more about the heart and how it pumps blood.  We watched a short video. It was a great tie in to our Valentine's hearts that we have been making for friends and family.
