Valentine's Day

On Friday, we celebrated Valentine's Day and friendship.

First, we read one of my favourite stories, "Enemy Pie."

Next, we chatted about the qualities of friendship.  Each student held a card with a word on it that represented a friendship quality.

Then, we handed each child the fruit that they brought for the fruit salad.  As they added their fruit to the salad, we talked about the friendship quality that their fruit represented.

After we ate the delicious friendship salad, we did some candy heart math.

We used the candy hearts to count, sort, and graph.

Finally, at the end of the day, we delivered our Valentine cards to our classmates.

We had a fun day celebrating friendship!
