We will learn a Valentine song which we will sing a few times throughout the class to help with memory. We will vote on a Valentine story, from the list below, for the teacher to read. Then the teacher will ask comprehension questions to ensure understanding. We will take turns talking and sharing our thoughts about the story. We will also work on a simple craft making a decorative heart that can be given as a Valentine. This helps the children develop fine motor skills as well as learning to follow directions.
Learning Goals
Students will work on being a good listener to their peers and the teacher, improving fine motor skills through a craft, developing language and vocabulary through a song, learn about voting, and practice listening comprehension with our story.
Other Details
Supply List
For the project please make sure each student has a piece of white paper with a large heart drawn on it. They will also need a few different colors of scrap paper to tear and either a glue stick or a small amount of glue in a small disposable container and a q-tip. Note: We will be tearing paper, not using scissors. The same muscles used to tear paper are later used in properly holding and controlling a pencil. This is an educational decision.
