Valentine's Day Freebie and Gift Ideas.

Hi everyone. I hope you are having a great week. Are you gearing up for Valentine's Day? I still need to get valentine's ready for my class, but I already have what I need. I decided to give them something besides candy this year. Here is what I am doing instead . . .



I think they will enjoy these special pencils and pens because they are different from what they are used to having.

I am going to wrap in these cute bags. . .

Also, here is a little freebie!

Valentine's Art Projects.

Hi everyone! Wow, it is Wednesday already! Are you starting to get excited for Valentine's Day? We have made a few things for the classroom. I love the red and pink! Here are a few pictures . . .

The kids cut out hearts of varying sizes and glued them together.



This cute owl is available from A Modern Teacher at TpT







The kids loved making stained glass hearts with wax paper, squares of tissue paper and watered down glue.

Books for Valentine's Day and Giveaway reminder.

Hey everyone. How was your Monday. It was 100's Day today. The kids had a lot of fun. It also snowed here today and so we had indoor recess during the morning and at lunch. Are you gearing up for Valentine's Day yet? We are making a Valentine's project tomorrow. Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I thought a list of books would be in order.  I have some of these in my library and there are a few I am excited to get! It is great to see some new books are available because I tend to read the same old ones. . .let me know if you have a favorite to add to the list.



 "Knock, knock!
"Who's there?
Peas!
Peas who?
Peas be my Valentine!
Valentine's Day is sweeter than ever in this hearty collection of knock-knock jokes. Lift the flaps and laugh your heart out with a group of kids and a pair of lovesick hamsters. You'll be tickled pink!"

"There are so many things in this world for which to be thankful - the sun and the moon, flowers and raindrops, family and friends. Children will delight in counting their own blessings as they follow the pages of this colorfully illustrated, easy-to-read book."

"One day it rains hearts, and Cornelia Augusta catches them. Each heart is special in its own way, and Cornelia Augusta knows exactly who to send them to."

"He can't even think straight when she's around. When Frogilina smiles at him through the monkey bars, Froggy falls smack on his head-bonk! So with Valentine's Day just a week away, Froggy gets busy making an extra-special valentine. The fifth book about the irrepressible Froggy, this is sure to keep children giggling with delight".

Who Will Be My Valentine This Year?
"A Valentine's Day story about finding your own special sweetheart.

Tomorrow is February 14th and Hippo is looking for a valentine, but all of the animals she asks-Leopard, Dolphin, Butterfly, Elephant and more-give reasons as to why they aren't good matches for her. Will Hippo have to celebrate Valentine's Day alone?"

Snowy Valentine
"Step out into a snowy Valentine’s Day with Jasper the bunny as he searches the forest valley for a special gift for his loved one."

Lilly's Chocolate Heart
"Lilly has only one chocolate heart left from Valentine's Day, and it's bedtime, so where is the best place to put her chocolate heart until tomorrow?" 

Be Mine
"Whooo Loves You?
Hey Foxy!
You need a Bear Hug!
Love is in the air and these cheerful creations by Brenda Ponnay are the perfect way to share a little love with a child in your life."

"When Mrs. Mousely asks her class to make valentines, Clayton and Desmond decide to make one together and give it to their teacher as a surprise. But things don't go as planned. First Clayton puts too much glitter on the card. Then Desmond puts on too many hearts. Soon the friends are arguing and they rip the card in half. "I'm going to make my own valentine!" they both say and go home in a huff.
But then Desmond and Clayton realize that by working together they can make the biggest, best valentine ever!"

Happy Tuesday!  I hope you all had a great day. Today was a Monday for me even though it was really Tuesday! I had a hard time getting into the swing of things after 3 days off. I bought the newest issue of Martha Stewart Living over the weekend because I could not resist the pretty pink cover. Once Valentine's Day starts it's approach my mind turns frilly, pink and red. :) I can't wait to hang up the hearts we have made for the classroom! I posted a picture of them last week! Anyway, in the meantime, here is a little Valentine's freebie for fun . . .

Valentine Project and Giveaway Reminder!

Hi everyone! First off, I want to remind you about our AWESOME giveaway which ends tomorrow afternoon. You can read about it here.

I also want to thank Jennifer from First Grade Blue Skies for coming up with this darling snowman project:

As I was sitting in my classroom this week admiring them it made me thnk of doing a 3 dimensional heart for Valentine's Day. So here is what I came up with on the spur of the moment:

1. I cut heart templates from legal sized file folders. I made a variety of heart shapes and sizes so that the children could choose.
2. The children decided on a color of paper and traced the heart 2 times. Then, they crumpled up paper towels to put between the 2 layers.
3. After I stapled their 2 layers together, the children decorated their hearts with pieces of scrapbook paper and buttons.

4. Once the decorating was finished I sprayed them with red glitter spray.

5. The final touch was adding a name tag and some raffia . . .
