Valentine’s Week Review

R and A worked on writing the valentines for their school. Each had to write their own name and twelve of their friends’ names. We focused on writing each letter in the correct pattern, from top to bottom and left to right. We talked about who we loved and those feelings that we have when we love someone. We talked about the new vocabulary for the week.

R used the following:

Musing of Me Valentines Pack (No longer available)
