It's almost Valentine's Day, so let's have a Valentine's Day party! To start class, we will be talking about things and people we love. To do this, we will get class started by introducing each student with show and tell - each learner should bring something they love to class (a favorite toy, a stuffed animal, a favorite book, a favorite food, etc). Then we will talk about what Valentine's Day is and what types of things come with it (ex - cards, chocolate, friends, hearts, etc) with a vocabulary activity. Next we will get some wiggles out with a Valentine's Day movement spinner! Make sure your learner has enough room to jump, march, wiggle and more! Last, each student will make their own love bug craft. Once completed, students will be able to share their love bug with the class. If there is any time left at the end of class, we will do some simple drawings together.
Learning Goals
Students will use listening and communication skills during show and tell. They will use language and vocabulary as we identify and name different Valentine's Day objects. Students will use a variety of gross motor skills during our movement activity. They will also use fine motor and creativity skills as we make our love bug craft.
Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Lauren and I am excited to be teaching here on Outschool! I am looking forward to teaching early childhood development classes - preschool math, literacy, social skills and more! I have worked with children/students of all ages. My primary focus is with young children as I have a bachelors degree in elementary education (prek - 4th) which I obtained through Grand Canyon University. I have spent the last 10 years working in an early childhood development center, primarily working with children ages 2-4. During these last 10 years I have developed and implemented curriculum across many content areas. Aside from teaching, I am a color guard instructor at both the middle and high school levels.
I think learning is all about having fun, especially with the younger children! My experience of running an early childhood classroom will aide me in providing fun and engaging lessons here on Outschool as well!
When I am not coaching or teaching, I am busy being a wife and a mom! My husband and I have a seven year old son who is currently in second grade and an infant daughter. My older son is very involved in sports, which means I am too! I also enjoy reading, journaling, and watching tv.
I look forward to meeting and working with many young children on this journey!
