We had a wonderful day of celebrating Valentine's Day- fun activities, eonderful company, and good food. What could be better? Well, maybe outdoor recess to burn off some of their excitement and energy!
We did a Valentine's story Mad Libs activity. The students stories were hilarious, including skating pigs, flying cheese, slimy mustaches, and a bunny grilling steaks. First, we brainstormed on the board some verbs, adverbs, nouns, and adjectives. Then the students got to work filling in their stories. Look at the smiles as they shared them with friends.
Passing out Valentines is always a fun activity to watch as the room buzzes with excitement and activity.
Our next activity was students had to make an animal of their choice using only heart shapes. We looked at some examples or students could come up with their own. We had dogs, a squid, an octopus, a snake, a turtle, a bee, spiders, elephants, a peacock, and cats. I love watching the creativity in the classroom.
Then it was time to open Valentines and feast on the goodies!
