Friendship and Valentine's Day

We had fun celebrating friendship, being kind, and caring for one another this week.  We started the week with our Valentine's Party.  Thank you so much parents for all you did to make this day so special for the kids and the teachers!!  We truly appreciate it and feel so blessed to have such great people and families who attend Maple Leaf!!

As the saying goes.... "A picture is worth a thousand words..."

What great decorations!!  Thank you Betsy Whitcomb for  transforming our classroom into a Valentine Wonderland!!

Last week we made our "Mailboxes".  The kids were so excited to take them home and see what was inside from their friends!!

The party started with healthy treats including fruit and string cheese! The kids look so great all dressed in pink and red!

Then it was time for desert and decorating our heart shaped cookies with frosting, sprinkles, and candy hearts!  Of course we had to have red juice.

Our stations included...using paper plates and paint sticks to toss balloons...

Throwing arrows and bean bags at paper plate hearts....

a Valentine matching game....

Punching a hole into a cup and taking out the prizes inside...

Stacking candy hearts and making a stained glass heart to hang in our windows.

Thanks for making our day so special.  Happy Valentine's Day!
