Happy Heart Day!

We had so much fun at our Valentine's party this year!  I believe it was just what we needed to get us through February's crazy winter weather.

Here are some pics to share.

Let's Color Their World

Chubby Crayons

Room 102 is connecting our Valentine’s Day celebration to a service-learning project. Since we have lots of crayons, we agreed to pop some in the oven, melt them down, and share brand new heart crayons with little hands.

These recycled crayons will be delivered to The Wesley Center. The extra big crayons are easy for little hands to hold and they don't break when used. 

There was still time in our day for cards and holiday sweets.

Heart-shaped chips!  Seriously? 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day

While surfing the internet recently, I came across a Random Act of Kindness post. In that post, the author writes about finding a note in an unexpected place and how it made her smile. I shared this story with the students.

Room 102 began to think of places to leave little notes that teachers and students would find, hoping the note would bring a smile to someone's face.

Students decided this would be a worthy project for Valentine's Day.  Plus their teacher was giving them permission to pass notes!  The note had to be random, never knowing who would find it or what effect it could have on their day.  

Students caught on real fast and scattered throughout the building tucking their notes in random spots. Students discovered the "sweet" fun of Valentine's Day.
