Vv Week

Hello! and Welcome to our vivacious Vv week!

Last week I asked the kiddos which letter they would like to do this week.  They came up with many suggestions, but stuck with Vv, because they wanted to do Valentine cookies and volcanoes.  Ha!  That can be arranged!!

Journal Time - Valentines - I dug in the back of the closet to find my Valentine box so we could have Valentines for our journals today.

Mini Valentine Boxes - We decorated our mini boxes and on Wednesday we'll make mini Valentines to go inside! 

These are just Jello and pudding boxes painted white.  I cut a slit in the top for the Valentines to slide into.

Science - Making Valentine Cookies - The kiddos did a wonderful job of making cookie dough.  They wanted to dye it, so we turned it purple.  Ha!

We rolled them out and cut heart cookies of various sizes.

It was really hard not to eat all the cookies, but we want to save them for Wednesday when we'll decorate them!  We did taste one mini cookie each though.  Yum!

Glowing Shirt - A kiddo wore a wonderful glowing Halloween shirt today.  The kiddos squished into the cupboard under the stairs (my Harry Potter closet) to see how it glowed!

Circle Time - Valentines - We made heart hands and then we practiced drawing hearts (a V with a M on top).

Mini Valentines - It's time to make our mini valentines to fit in our mini valentine boxes.  Hope you enjoy all the love notes they created for you!

The kiddos LOVED putting the valentines in and then dumping them out and then putting them back in again ...

Vacuuming - Because, ya know...it starts with Vv and the preschool can always use a bit of vacuuming.

 

Valentine Cookie Frosting - Oh!  The moment we've been waiting for!!!


Push Ups - These guys had finished their art project and were burning off some energy while they waited for their friends to finish so we could go outside.  Ha!

Reading - Toddlers - I LOVE reading with these little guys!

Pocket of Cookies - Toddlers - This kiddo found he had a pocket in his shirt!  He promptly filled it with play cookies.

Visitor - We had a kiddo's sibling visit our class today.  The school age kids had no school today!  She was a great helper.

 

Journal Time - V Volcano! -  The kiddos found a V to turn into a volcano and a little pack of volcano pop rocks to try.  They LOVED the pop rocks, well, most of the kiddos did.

Mini Egg Carton Volcanoes - I simply set out the supplies and the kiddos created.  I love that each island of volcanoes came out different.

 

 

Science - Erupting Volcanoes - This is what we have been waiting for all week long (well, after the valentine cookies).  Of course baking soda and vinegar.  But we also left most of the water in the bottles and added a squirt of dish soap (bubbly) and a squirt of red food coloring and then let the kiddos experiment...
