After reading Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch, Mrs. Clarkโs 2nd graders took the time to write friendly letters to a classmate, sharing kind words and thoughtful compliments. This heartwarming activity reminded us all how powerful it is to make someone feel seen, valued, and loved.
It was so special to see the smiles and excitement as students read the letters from their friends. A little kindness goes a long way! ๐โจ
Ms. Cathy and Mrs. Thibodeau's Jensen Beach Elementary finished Valentine's Week with a party celebrating love and friendship planned by our room moms/dad. The children had a race, created crafts, had a special snack and story. The children ended the event by passing out Valentines to all their friends with the help of our parent volunteers. I would like to send a huge thank you to our room parents and volunteers for another fun filled and enjoyable event!
Love is in the air in Ms. Cathy and Mrs. Thibodeau's VPK class at Jensen Beach Elementary! Our flower shop opened just in time for Valentine's Day. The children enjoyed exploring the roles of customer, florist, and cashier. The children also enjoyed Valentine sensory bins and playdough this week. Each child made two bookmarks and cards to give as Valentine's Day gifts. What a fun and busy week with these Mini-Vikings. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
