Valentine's Day

We loved Valentine’s week in our class! This week we celebrated how much God loves us and how we can love each other. We hope that this is what these sweet friends remember from this week. We learned a great new song about the love of Jesus called "I've Got a Friend" if you want to practice it this week at home! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JnFLvGUKP4 

We also had tons of fun celebrating Valentine’s Day with our friends! We enjoyed working on our color words with candy heart graphing, writing letters on Valentine cards, matching uppercase and lowercase letters with "broken hearts", lacing hearts, tracing hearts, counting with candy hearts, and stringing heart noodles. We even did our first true addition activity by adding hearts!

We worked a lot on color words and rhyming this week with our fun "Mailman" poem. We also enjoyed reading the books Love, Ruby Valentine, A Valentine for God, and The Day It Rained Hearts. 

We were very excited to have some special community helper visitors still come in Friday (due to last Friday's snow day). Hadley's mom (a flight nurse) and dad (a firefighter) came to tell us about their jobs! We are so appreciative of them taking the time to come, as we were of all our visitors last week! 


Because we missed last Friday, we did finish our community helper activities on Wednesday, reading about police officers and firefighters as well as making pretend stethoscopes to take home!

We hope that everyone had a great time at the party! A HUGE thank you to everyone who came to help and/or brought supplies! We truly could not do it without each of you! Seeing the smiles on each face brings us so much joy. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

This week, see if your child can...


1. Say our February Bible verse ("Love one another as I have loved you."). 

2. Write the numbers 14, 15, and 16.
3. Practice coming up with and writing down words that start with Rr.
4. Read a rhyming book and talk about the rhyming words together. 
5. Count to 80 with you!

We are going to be starting more work with ten frames!
