Valentine's Day and President's Day!

In getting ready for Valentine's Day we wrote acrostic poems. The kids had to think about someone in their family that they love and write descriptive words starting with L, O, V, and E.  then they made Love bugs to showcase their work! On Valentine's Day we also decorated bags, worked in teams to do valentines puzzles, and passed out cards.

 

After Valentine's Day we learned about presidents and Washington D.C.  We saw pictures of famous landmarks in Washington D.C. and made mini books about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  For our writing project, we wrote about what we would do and what we would be like if we were President of the United States.  After the writing was done, students got to put their pictures on 5 dollar bills just like Abraham Lincoln. 

Stay tuned for Dental Month activities, First Grade Olympics and St. Patrick's Day!
