I bought some Valentine's at the dollar store (what teacher doesn't love the dollar store???!!!) for students who don't bring any in to share. <br />Thank you for all of the ideas. I am going to run them all by Mrs. P. <br />One decision that we did make was that we are having Valentine's party day moved to Friday!Ms. Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533525118744126149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711508683774326679.post-28399920307206288872013-01-27T18:33:22.298-08:002013-01-27T18:33:22.298-08:00I love doing breakfast for most holidays.

At Halloween( Fall) you can ask for things made from corn, pumpkin and apples. <br />So maybe pink, red and white things for Valentines (fruit, cheeses, yogurt, etc.)Terry Stouferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103949892448542474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711508683774326679.post-32027441802761424322013-01-27T13:50:38.666-08:002013-01-27T13:50:38.666-08:00For the last several years we've been deep in ...For the last several years we've been deep in our penguin unit by the time Valentine's Day rolls around. Instead of a party we strung pony beads to make a penguin key fob. We always have lots of parents show up, so there was plenty of help for the students. I put the bead pattern up on the Smartboard. Each child got a bag of all the things they needed. They followed my directions row by row and were so proud of their creations. They had time at the end to peek at their valentines. Then it was off to lunch. Later in the day at our regular snack time we had the refreshments parent had sent.<br /><br />We're fortunate to have our party in the morning just before lunch time. That way I'm not stuck with the end-of-the-day-party-cleanup after finish with duty. <br /><br />This year we'll be studying the rain forest at that time. I'll have to get busy and select another fun craftivity to do.<br /><br />Jill<br />a-little-red-wagon.blogspot.comDr. Jill E.

It made distributing them way more efficient and the kids didn't get upset.

Parents were asked to send in pre-cut fruit the morning of the party. We had all the usual suspects (apples, bananas, oranges and strawberries etc.) and even fresh cut pears! It was easy to just put the fruit in a big bowl and serve it. The kids loved it. I've suggested this to new my room parent again this year. Happy V-day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634827919741398043noreply@blogger.com
