Happy Valentine Day

One of my favorite things to do with children is to let them create something from their own imaginations.  So today, we gave the children a folded white sheet of card stock - a blank canvas - to make a Valentine card.  We also put several pieces of colored construction paper cut into different sizes, some heart patterned paper, and some pink, red, and white foam hearts out for the students to use.  The only instruction was on how to make a heart - fold a piece of paper in half, draw the number 2 starting on the folded edge and then returning to the folded edge before the straight bottom line.  Then cut out the heart - A few students even figured out how to make a heart within a heart.  Moms and Dads and Grandmas and Grandpas got really special Valentines today!
