Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate in school.
Writing out the cards and passing them out to your friends in their mailboxes is a memory I still have from when I was little.
Once I sent home the newsletter with the class list in February and the kids found out they could send out cards, they asked me everyday how many days until Valentine's day?!
It was a lot of fun and here are some fun projects that are part of my unit plan.
How Many Heart?
Children fill the heart with conversation hearts. Then they estimate how many are inside. Then they count them up and figure out the actual number.
Candy Heart Graphing
Each child was given a box of conversation hearts. First they sorted them by color on the mat. Then they tallied. Then made a bar graph. Finally, they answered the questions and wrote the total numbers. The only problem I had was that the boxes of hearts I got had blue instead of white, but we made it work!
Heart Sun Catcher
Its hard to see because this one was already hanging on the window. But its outlined in red paper with wax paper underneath. The kids filled with the tissue paper and then covered with the outline. Then we added glitter... or sprinkles according to my kindergarteners. They looked really nice hanging on the window all month.
I Love My Family Because...
Children drew a picture of their family in the hearts and then did a writing prompt about why they love their family. Made a cute bulletin board display :)
Heart Measurement
One of the heart measurement activities is to use a heart ruler to measure various items. You record the information and then compare the data.
