Book - Froggy's First Kiss
Movement - Mailing Valentines
We had to do the art project first to be able to do this activity. So with the mailboxes they made, they pretended to mail valentines to each other. I got a bunch of envelopes and cut pieces of paper small enough to fit. Then gave them stickers and crayons to make valentines. They put it in an envelope and then placed it in each others mailboxes. They really enjoyed this and we ran out of envelopes:)
Art/Craft - Mailboxes
I found some cute mailboxes at Michaels. They got to decorate them. Before hand I used puffy paint to put their initial on the front so they knew who's was who's.
Patterns - Conversation Heart Patterns
I printed off conversation heart AB patterns that they had to finish (http://www.prekinders.com/valentines-theme/). They then had to finish the patterns. They were extra motivated to do this because they got to eat some conversation hearts at the end.
Game - Find the Heart
I had some heart sticky notes left over from last week. I had them close their eyes. I then hid ten hearts around the room and then they had to find them. This was super easy and fun. They wanted to play again and again.
Wednesdays Schedule -
(Baylee was sick:( so Kathryn gave me all the materials she planned so we could still do preschool)
Book - (Toy Story) A Friend Is...
Movement - Heart Jumping
I placed heart doilies on the floor and they would jump from one to the other all the way across the room. They really enjoyed this and it was great for getting their wiggles out.
Art/Craft - Necklaces
Kathryn cut out hearts and punched holes in them and then colored noodles red before hand. The kids strung the hearts and noodles on. We worked on AB patten as well. They really enjoyed this activity and loved wearing their necklaces.
Numbers - Broken Heart
Kathryn made hearts and cut them in half. On one half she put a number and on the other she put dots (to match the numbers). We took turns matching our hearts. This was great practice for them.
Game - Heart Walk
Kathryn gave me heart doilies with letters on them. I placed them in a circle. The kids would march on the hearts while the music was on and stop on a heart when the music stopped. They would then name the letter and the sound that letter makes before doing it again. Always a hit!
