Sharing treats was optional today, so only a few students brought things to share with the class. They loved the gum I gave them! Many said thank-you two or three times throughout the day!
We watched two Wishbone episodes, one of the "to be continued" episodes. We were only going to watch one today, but it was a cliff hanger ending, so we ended up watching both. And we still had time to do most of our Daily 5 rounds. That was kind of our Valentine party, watching Wishbone. They earned the two episodes as a marble prize, so really it wasn't much of a party, but they didn't complain at all. Not many of them are super thrilled with the whole Valentine thing, aside from getting lots of candy.
We played a few rounds of Valentine would-you-rather before lunch. Here are some of my favorites:
Would you rather:
- Get a kiss from a big, slobbery dog? or from a camel?
- Eat heart shaped dog treats? or rose petals?
- Go to a Valentine's party with really good food but not much to do? or go to a party with no food but really fun games/activities?
- Spend Valentine's day with your family? or friends?
- Get candy from your teacher? or a homework pass?
Some of their choices were surprising! It was 50/50 family or friends. Most wanted a homework pass instead of candy (hint for next year!). Most picked a kiss from a dog.
Well, I'm the last one at school and this was the last thing on my to-do list, so I'm going to pack up and head home!
