We were very excited because it was the day of our Valentine Party. We have been distributing our Valentines all week. Do you remember that we made Valentine Bags the other day at Art? Well, that is where we put the Valentines.
Because there was a party today we did things a little bit differently. We played with a few toys and did some games when we first came to school. Then, the doorbell started ringing and the parents started coming to help get our party ready.
We did have time for a story. It was a book on tape called, "I Love It When You Smile". In our story there was a mommy kangaroo and her little child, Roo. Roo woke up and was very grumpy. His mommy tried to get him to smile, but he refused. She tried all sorts of funny tricks, but Roo still wouldn't smile. Finally, mommy took him down the hill to get breakfast. Roo didn't want to go, but his mommy said she was hungry. They went hopping down the hill. What do you think happened? Did Roo ever smile?
After our story and songs, we usually go to the benches to wash our hands. Not today. Because of the party, we went over to the Play Room and played for a while. More parents came and they started getting things ready for our party. Then it was time to wash our hands. When we came back into the Play Room for snack, there were pretty tablecloths on our snack tables. We had Valentine plates and napkins. Then we ate some frosted cookies and pretzels with our juice. We just love parties. For our Thursday party we had some very yummy cookies with red frosting and sprinkles. We also had juice.
After we were all finished with our snacks, we went over to the Circle Time Room to play party games. We had a Valentine Bingo game, a Valentine Bean Bag game and a Valentine Ball game. For the last one, we tried to throw little plastic balls through a big Valentine heart. These games were so much fun. We also got to decorate some Valentines. We had stickers and fun foam.
At our Thursday party we had some very fun things to do. We played a Valentine Bean Bag game. We tried to throw our bean bags through some holes in a big wooden Valentine. We stacked large Conversation Hearts into towers. We played Valentine Bingo and we got Valentine Tattoos. Parties are our favorite!
At the very end of our party, we each got to get our Valentine Bags. We will take them home and look at all of our Valentines.
Thank you to all of the parents who came to help make our party so special. We appreciate all of your hard work. Happy Valentine's Day!
