Five for Friday Valentine's Edition!

I thought I'd pop in and link up with Doodle Bug's Teaching

 for a Five for Friday Valentine's Edition!

My teammate came up with this idea for our 100th day

which fell the week of our MLK holiday and two weeks before

Valentine's Day. Our 100 Dreams!

In response to reading and learning about Dr. Martin Luther King 

and listening to his I Have a Dream speech we asked all of our second graders 

to write 3 or 4 dreams they have for the world.  We filled our hallway

with hearts and dreams!

We had a Valentine's Day math party with The Candy Bandit

 after lunch that was a HUGE hit! 

Valentine's Day math centers make a great alternative to the 

usual party.  We roam the room to complete math activities then

pass out our valentines!

I made these little valentines to give my class with Play Doh

from Dollar Tree. 

Download the free student valentines.

We later used the Play Doh for some measurement practice!

I love the Pinterest influence on Valentine's Day!

My kiddos brought in the cutest things!

We also finished up our measurement unit this week as well as

our opinion writing pieces.We tied them together by making 

these perimeter pets to illustrate our opinions about which 

animals make the best pets!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out all of
