Number Match Hearts

I have an EASY math center for you today!  Yes, it is perfect for the whole month of February or really any time of year!

I found these foam hearts from Target a few years back, but I am sure you could find them anywhere this time of year.
I wrote a number and the matching number of hearts.
Your kiddos can count and put different objects on each hear to match that number.
For more of a challenge, you can have your kiddos pick two hearts and add them together!

Heart Box Math Center

I'm back for another FREE Valentine's Day activity!
I got these heart shape boxes from Walmart!

I created a fun addition center you can add to your centers the month of February!

Cut out the addition problems and put one problem in each box. 

Your kiddos will pick a box and write the equation on their recording sheet.

Valentine's day is coming up quick! 

I wanted to share the February cards with you.

These cards are great for a sensory bin or reading/math center.

FREE Valentine Cards

If you're looking for candy-free Valentine cards, you've come to the right place!
I created three different Valentine cards that can be given with an inexpensive toy instead of candy.

I got the rubber ducky superheros from Oriental Trading.  If you used these for beginning of the year gifts, then check out the dinosaur themed cards.  These dinosaurs I found at Dollar Tree!

Grab these cards HERE!

Valentine's Day Party Prep

You are probably thinking it is not even February, but February is right around the corner-literally it is Thursday!
I wanted to show you my Valentine's Day party prep with you!
One of the things we do before our party is decorate our Valentine's bags. 

 

I usually put out a bunch of stickers on each table and let the kiddos go to town.

 These are the new stickers I got this year in addition to some foam stickers I have from last year!
During our party, the kiddos rotate to each table to do a fun Valentine's Day activity.  Here are a few of the activities we are doing this year!

We will do this cute sticker scene.  My kiddos love these and even did a gingerbread house one during the holidays!

I went back and forth with parent gifts and settled on this cute bear magnet.  Easy prep and all the pieces are self-adhesive!  WIN, WIN!

We will decorate cookies too! Well, these foam cookies!  I love that these crafts come individually wrapped with all the supplies ready to go!

Finally, I wanted to show you the Valentine's I am handing out to my kiddos.  Non-candy and super fun!

Oriental Trading- Valentine's Day

Oriental Trading has sent me some more goodies to make your Valentine's Day party even better!
Make sure to check out all the Valentine's goodies they have to offer by clicking HERE!
Now, check out some of the things they have sent me.  A big part of our V-Day activities is our card exchange.  Which means we need to make some cute Valentine bags.
I got these great white craft bags.  They are the perfect size for all those cards.

I am going to use these heart shaped doilies to write each kiddos' name on then we are going to decorate using some other great crafting materials!

I got some self-adhesive foam pieces to decorate the bags.

I also got some Valentine stampers too!  There are about 50 in a pack, so I plan on letting my kiddos take one home after we finish decorating!

Oriental Trading has a lot of cute V-Day cards too!  I grabbed these cute superhero cards that come with a bracelet!

A fun V-Day craft idea is to take these cute heart shaped pony beads and stringing them on a pipe cleaner to make a bracelet.  Challenge your kiddos to make a pattern out of it.

The day after Valentine's Day is our 100th Day!  Yes, this will be a crazy but fun week!

Oriental Trading has some fun 100th Day supplies!  I found these great certificates and pencils to hand out on our 100th Day!

Valentine's Day Centers!

I pulled out some Valentine's Day centers this week!

These adorable love monster sight word cards are from my Love Monster activity pack!  I put them into my word work centers and had my kiddos build each word on a baking pan!

The next couple activities are from my Valentine's Day Writing Center Activities pack!

I laminated the recording sheet so we can reuse it.  I have my kiddos pick a word, find it on the sheet, trace, and write it!

Updated my writing center to put in these sheets! 

My kinders read, trace, write, and build each sentence

The Polar Vortex

I apologize for not blogging!  Honestly, since the last time I blogged we have been in school 2 days.  Yes, TWO!  Thanks to that "Polar Vortex"!  We had a "Cold Day" last week Thursday plus today and tomorrow too!  We are playing major catch up, but were informed today that two days we had off for teacher days are now school days for everyone.
One of those "make up days" is actually Valentine's Day!  Instead of having our party a day early we will have it on Valentine's Day!  I am not too upset since that will be a fun day!  If you are planning ahead (said no teacher ever) for Valentine's Day I have created a fun freebie.  It is a Write the Room activity which will get your kids up and moving if they have been stuck indoors like my little ones!

Valentine's Day Fun and a FREEBIE

We made it!  We survived Valentine's Day!  We had a fun day in kindergarten today!  Our day was filled with hearts and too much candy!  I was smart and we only ate some sweethearts from our graphing activity.  I might be dreading tomorrow with all the sugar that will be in their systems though!  

We started our fun day by making these cute gifts for our parents!  Thanks to the fabulous Kate from Fun in ECSE for making the template!  Basically all the kiddos do is cut up paper and glue it to the heart that says "I Love You to Pieces"!  We added a little glitter and they were the easiest and cutest gifts ever!

The fabulous Khrys from Keepin it Kool in Kinderland created this great pack that we got to use today!  Would you believe when I went to Target they were totally OUT of the conversation hearts!?  Luckily there were 2 packs left of the sweetheart kind!!  

 We sorted our hearts first!

Then graphed it!  There were a few colors we didn't have but it still worked out! :)

As a way to say HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY here is another freebie for my lovely followers!  Something non Valentine's Day related for you to use!  Enjoy!
