Our theme was "All about Love" Our activities rotated around "Hearts"
Story Retelling:
We read the book "Marley Looks for Love" and students had to retell a scene from the story by drawing a picture.
Heart Addition:
I punched out some hearts to teach addition to my friends in small groups. This was our first time doing addition. I started by asking them to count hearts I placed in the middle. Then I tell them I am going to add 1 more and ask them to count again. I explained to them that they had just done addition and showed them the addition sentence on white board. We did a round of working with a partner and an individual round.
Valentine Number Match:
This a cute little matching game that students can play individually. You can download it from Confessions of a Homeschoolers Blog by clicking HERE
Valentines Flower Number Match:
Another game we used for our independent table is from this free download on Teachers Pay Teachers.
Alphabet Match and Sound Recognition:
PreKinders has this wonderful Alphabet mats to use for Letter matching on their Valentine Theme page. She has Upper and Lower case mats as well one for beginning sound match. They are pretty with cute little hearts.
The Heart- Emergent Reader Book:
I also downloaded this Book from Pre-K Pages. It is a cute little book with simple sentences that we choral read. It uses sight words the and is and is on colors making it easier for kids to read on their own once you have read it together. (Scroll down to the bottom, the book is a freebie in the printable at the bottom.)
Ofcourse we had to have our class Valentine's Exchange a cute little party. Fabulous time after missing school for a week due to snow!!
Until next time,
Cheers =)
