Fire Fighter visit

    
We had a special guest reader today .... a firefighter!.......for I Love to Read month.  The class was so excited to meet this community helper. One little girl said... "I have never met a real fire fighter before!".
  
We talked about the number 5 today, and brainstormed all the ways we can show "5".
Then, with a partner, we played "Snap-It" using 5 unifix blocks.  (ie.  If I have 2 blocks on this finger.... how many blocks are on my other hand/finger behind my back?)
   
Some little architects built a tower using almost all 100 cups!

Happy Valentine's Day

It was fun to deliver our Valentine cards to our friends' Valentine mailboxes!  (and good job to everyone who wrote the names of their friends on their cards, and signed them yourself!) 
  
Lots of fun checking out the Valentine cards that were delivered to each of us!
   
We played "Musical Valentines" (like Musical chairs). Here's the winner!! Everyone had lots of fun, and most were good sports when they had to leave the game! (We only had one person get upset about not winning.)

Then we played "A Tisket, a tasket....."

... and not everyone enjoys cinnamon hearts!

Playing "GO FISH" with our visitor. Try playing at home, too!!

Thank you to the families who sent in treats for our Valentine's party today!  They were enjoyed by all!
Reminder... bring 100 little things tomorrow!

A wrinkled heart....

"Before you speak, Think and be Smart, It is hard to fix a wrinkled heart!"  
We talked about what this means --- for our pink heart paper, AND for the words we speak to others! Let's speak kind and respectful words! We can't put unkind words back into our mouth - and we don't want to hurt anyone with the words we speak!

Here is everyone scrunching up their heart paper!!  Oh NO!!!
 
It was SO hard, and impossible! -- to straighten out the paper and get the wrinkles out!!!


Making a Valentine mailbox....Getting ready for tomorrow!
        
Storytime..... We have a visitor in our room for today and tomorrow. Her name is Mrs. Wells. She has  2 daughters -- who used to be in Room 7 when they were in Kindergarten!! Now Mrs. Wells is taking an Early Childhood Education course at Red River Community College, and as part of one of her classes, she is volunteering in our room for a couple days. She read us a couple Valentine stories today.
