Valentine's Fun

     Happy Valentine's Day to all of our SMART START students and their families.  We truly enjoyed celebrating the holiday with your little ones!  They all had so much fun learning about and partaking in festive activities.  SMART START love was in the air!

💗 Reading ðŸ’—

     Valentine's Day is special as it focuses on being kind to others and expressing love to those that mean the most.  Our students enjoyed learning about this love-filled holiday during circle time.  Storytime is a favorite for our wonderful group of listeners here at SMART START! Our bookshelf was lined with Valentine themed books that the boys and girls read on their own or with a friend during language arts and/or free play.







💗 Arts and Crafts ðŸ’—

     Creative crafters decorated their very own box to hold valentines they would receive during our Valentine's Day celebration.  They also worked on a special gift for their parents. Glitter, markers, foam heart stickers, heart stamp markers, glue , felt and tissue paper and red colored yarn were used for both projects. The final products looked wonderful and it was evident that a great deal of love was put into each creation.  Parents, we hope you enjoyed your Valentine's Day present today and for many years to come!


💗 Culinary Arts ðŸ’—

     SMART START bakers looked adorable as ever in their chef hats and aprons as they prepared and baked a delicious Valentine's Day treats for their parents.  The children showcased great teamwork in the kitchen as they took turns pouring, measuring and mixing the ingredients.  What lovely manners our students have! All packaged the M&M chocolate chip cookies in cute heart bags and finished with ribbon.  We hope you enjoyed these tasty treats made with lots of love from your valentines!


💗 Valentine's Day Party ðŸ’—

     Our SMART START valentines were excited to spread kindness and love to their friends at our celebration here at school. Valentines and special treats were brought in for all to share. The children loved passing them out to their friends and putting the valentines  received in their boxes made during arts and crafts. Conversations were super sweet as they focused on being extra kind to one another in honor of Valentine's Day. 



     SMART START friends gathered in a circle for an entertaining musical bag game.  When the music stopped, whomever was holding the bag had the chance to guess what was inside. Laughter and smiles filled the room as comical guesses were made as to what was in the bag. It was Barny the Barn Owl! They love when Barny is included in the fun!  We commenced our Valentine's Day celebration with an exciting game of "Valentine Says", just like the classic "Simon Says."
