Where has this month gone!? I am gearing up for Valentine's Day by getting everything ready! I have my students' gifts ready and I've printed and laminated all of my Valentine's Day center activities.
This year, I picked up a few goodies from the dollar store, Michael's, and Target and put together treat bags. How cute are the little mustache and lips lollipop accessories!? My kids will love them!
I also made my firsties these water bottles! They are going to enjoy them during our party! I am a water freak, so these are only appropriate! I made some editable tags in case you'd like to make some for your classroom! Click here to snag a set for free!
My centers are prepped and ready to go! I photographed a few of my favorites to share with you!
1. Sweet Spin-Students spin, tally, answer questions, and graph! Simple enough!
2. Number Patterns-This is such a tricky concept; to practice, students match the rule with the number pattern. This is great practice and I always include a number pattern activity in my weekly Math tubs.
3. Sentence Scramble-Always an important skill for emergent readers and writers!
4. Broken-This is a sight word game where all cards are placed in a bag and students draw a card, read it, and say it aloud in a sentence. If they get a "broken" card, all their cards go back into the bag! The anticipation always kills the kids! This activity comes with an optional recording sheet.
5. Subtraction Facts-Use these to play races, or take turns drawing a card and solving the facts! A little rote drill never hurt 'nobody!
6. Blend Sort-Sort the blends by r-blends or l-blends. Write them on the provided recording sheet and use some in sentences.
7. Number Bonds-Match the number bond to it's missing addend.
All the activities and lots more are included in my "Be Mine, Valentine" center pack. I hope you will take a look!

These are some great valentine activities. I think the water bottles are perfect... so much better than having parents send in sugary drinks to go along with all the sugary treats. Talk about hyper!
