valentine cards!

Valentine's Day is a huge day in kindergarten.  Their big unit in February is on the post office, so they all make shoebox mailboxes with the purpose of delivering Valentine cards for each kid in class.  G came home at the beginning of the month with "address labels" for each of her classmates, and was supposed to make a Valentine card for each and label each envelope.  This was a great project for G because #1, she loves crafts and making cards and things, #2, she got a lot of great writing practice writing everyone's names on the back, and #3, she was very excited about giving to others.  I stepped in to help her find a card that she could make 23 of them without getting bored and me ending up finishing them.  We decided to go with a simple version of print-making with a cookie sheet, paint, q-tips and card stock.

 

They turned out great and G was so proud of them!  And what were the boys doing while G was making cards?

 

It was baths for all after that...
