Valentine's Day


This week our theme was ‘Valentine’s Day’.  We made several items out of hearts including a butterfly, a ladybug and a panda bear!  The children continued to work on number identification, matching, graphing and patterns. Our letter for the week was Vv and we all had a wonderful time opening our Valentine’s Day cards!
