Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
We have been busy working on
Olympic and valentine crafts.
We made these by tracing a
heart template and using cellophane squares in between a laminating sheet. Then
we hole punched the top and tied a string through it. They turned our great.
We made crayon hearts, we used
all of our broken crayons and each student put the colors they wanted in their
designated heart and melted them in our toaster oven. I don’t have a picture of
the final product but we put them on a heart with a doily and construction paper
with the words “You color my world”.
Here is where I got this idea: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/67342956899782357/
Valentine pops
Ingredients:
- Oreos
- candy melts-red
- valentine sprinkles
You will also need sucker
sticks and wax paper
Instructions:
1. Take a sucker stick and dip it in the melted candy melts and put that end into the filling of the Oreo and let it harden.
2. Take the Oreo on a stick and dip it into the melted candy melts and
lay on wax paper
3. Decorate with sprinkles and let harden.
Valentine Writing
Each student was given a box of
candy sweethearts and asked to use at least 5 of them to write a story. The
students glued the hearts onto the paper when they belonged. They had a blast
and were very fun to read.
Heart Math
Estimation: The students were
asked to guess how many hearts they thought would fit into the heart on the
paper. Then they glued as many hearts as they could fit on the paper into the
heart. Then they glued on the hearts and wrote the final answer.
Graphing: The students used a
box of sweethearts and dumped them out onto the table. The separated them by
color using the worksheet to help them. Next they were to graph onto another
worksheet by color. We then compared everyone’s answers and talked about how
not all boxes were the same.
Here is where you can find this worksheet for FREE!
We also did a graph of
M&M’s the valentine bag. The students sorted by color and got to eat the
finished product!
This year, my students are
lower functioning, We put out a heart of each color on the table. We would give
the boys two choices and ask “which one is …”. Once they were able to match the colors we also had them color
the heart that color and glue on the candy heart.
With the Olympic this year, the
boys painted the Olympic rings using the five colors. They loved it, one of them
even followed the dots.
You can find the olympic ring worksheet here:
I got these beautiful flowers and a valentine from one of my students. I'm such a lucky teacher!!
These are two other worksheets
we did this year with the boys. They really liked them!
