Sweet Candy Heart Math!

Happy Thursday!
To me, it's Wednesday (Monday we had meetings..talk about being a creature of habit and routine).   A little change in the normal Monday-Friday rigor makes me wake up thinking it's a whole different day!
Well, time to break out the Candy Hearts-yes, it was supposed to be a lesson on Valentine's Day, but this teacher got a little of pace and had to draw lines in my lesson plan book-delayed 6 days!
Each student got a box of hearts.  With the hearts, they also got a math sheet with numerous activities to complete:  measuring, making arrays, adding, subtracting, making patterns, and no on the sheet they did not find-Last, eat them!  (ha ha...they did get to).

Smiles,

Valentines Boxes Are Not All The Same

Valentines, sweet Valentines!
For me, sick Valentines...I can't see out of my left eye Valentines! I tried very hard to put on my loving and St. Valentine's smiles, but the pain in my eye and the dryness of my throat were tough to battle!
But, my kiddos excitement, joy, and pride in their Valentines' "boxes" was enough to light up our whole village!  Because we only had a half day on the 14th, we had to SQUEEZE in many red and pink activities before 11:20 A.M.  The best one....happened at 10:35!  YOU GUESSED IT...passing out their Valentines!
"Where is the door?  This one has two holes!  Her horse keeps falling down; maybe it broke its leg."  Oh, the delightful and precious comments from 6, 7, and 8 year olds!  SWEET TIMES!

Trees, horses, football stadiums, giraffes, butterflies, oh my!

Smiles,
