Just cut out a big heart out of colored paper and put it in your window!  

Literacy:

Let's practice printing the 2 letters that when turned upside down, look like each other!  M and W!  With the help of Geraldine the Giraffe and Sesame Street, lets practice the sounds that they make!











Math:


Race to fill the cup!  We have played this game before using cubes, lego or solid items to fill the cup.  Lets use water today!  You will need 2 cups, a pail of water and a tablespoon.  Roll 1 or 2 dice and add that many tablespoons of water to your cup.  Whoever reaches the top of the cup, without overflowing their cup, wins!!!
