Last Week- Valentine's Day Fun

My week was filled with lots of love, laughter, and teaching, OF COURSE!  I am still recovering from the candy coma from the past few days. This was my week in pictures...

We had a HEART-TO-HEART CONVERSATION about adjectives.  

We created this anchor chart with conversation hearts for Valentine's Day.

Then, each student got 4 conversation heart papers.

  They had to think of 4 adjectives to describe themselves. 

 I stressed the importance of using positive, upbeat words about themselves.

On Tuesday, the students made these adorable Love Monster bags created by THE TEACHER WIFE.  The students truly enjoyed making these.  The nicknames they came up with were hilarious.

Look what I woke up to on Valentine's Day!  My little Sydnee Sweetheart!  

Okay, so I didn't actually wake up to this since she is dressed, but this morning smile made my day!

My students went above and beyond to shower me with gifts. 

They also showered each other with goody bags.  

The monster bags in the picture above were falling from the whiteboard they were SOOOOO HEAVY!

Did you get lots of chocolate too? I think I need to invest my money in chocolate! Ha!

  

The Greatest Show On Earth...I Love it!

Today I went to the circus with my husband and daughter.  Unfortunately for us, she wanted everything.  It was like Christmas Day all over again.  Yikes!  We did have a great time.  It completely made me reflect on my childhood.  My mom would take me to "The Greatest Show on Earth"  every year.  Precious memories!  Things I love about the circus:
1. The smell...popcorn and cotton candy.  Yum!
2. The bright lights and colorful costumes.  Don't forget the loud music too.  The theme song has been on my mind all day.  I may have to download it, if I can.  Here is a link:  Fully Charged-Music Video
There were other familiar songs from the late 90s and early 00s too.
3.  CLOWNS!  I love clowns!  They make me smile.  I don't know what it is...but I have a place in my heart for them.

Here is a freebie to use with your class if you enjoy clowns just as much as myself.  It is a great printable to use to introduce or review adjectives.  Enjoy!
