While the adults played real card games, the girls were entertained by a little "Roll and Color."
We started by mixing the Kool-aide with the soda. It was really cool to see that it actually mixes itself, kind of like a "potion."
While the potion was mixing the girls colored their "Love Potion" cup labels...
Next we added a little rainbow sherbet (you can use strawberry or cherry too) to the cups... (Please excuse the blurriness of the photo... this is where the younger kids realized that there was fun to be had and joined in...)
Then we poured the soda/Kool-aide mix... it make a really cool bubbly affect that the kids loved...
And we topped it with whipped cream and sprinkles.... a real love potion! They totally approved it for Valentine's Day!
There are tons of activities in this unit... Love Potion activities, graphic organizers to go with any Valentine's Day book, Math Printables, Language Arts Printables and Interactive Reading Journals Thematic Supplements! There are plenty of ways to make your Valentine's Day celebration fun and educational!
I hope your New Years ended as peacefully as this...

Teaching in Australia, the new year means we're starting a new school year, so I'm looking forward to getting to know all my precious kiddos. I'm really looking forward to implementing and teaching my Guided Reading program - something I've been working on developing for my prof. development. So it's all exciting. Plus I'm looking forward to throwing in some fun Valentines-themed activities for the start of the year!

I love sports, so I'm really looking forward to the Winter Olympics! I plan to have my kinders keep track of the medals each country wins on a map. I think they will love it! michelle.taylor@onslow.k12.nc.us

Actually this post just got me excited about teaching Valentines Day. I teach special ed and my students have had such a fascination with beakers and 'potions' that the science station has become a coveted prize. I think they would love this! abramsky@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteI am excited to teach an Arctic Animals unit. This is my first year in first grade and I am exited to see how the kids will respond to learning about penguins and polar bears. jessgreen529@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI am excited to teach spelling in the new year! (Who thought I would EVER say that?!) I did a ton of research and created my own phonics and high frequency words based spelling program with fun center activities to go along with it. I am excited! :) Your love potion unit looks great!

I am always looking for fun, no cook activities to do with my kindergarten friends since we are not allowed to "cook" in the classroom. I love how your Love Potion activity incorporates sciences concepts and all the steps can be done with the kids. I would love to add it to my plans.
