Kindergarten Valentine's Party

Jaxton's Kindergarten class had their Valentine's Day party.  I got to be involved in planning and organizing it.  It was super fun!!  The kids did lots of fun activities.  And we had lots of moms to help out.  It's always fun to get to know other moms of kids in Jaxton's class.  We broke the kids up into 4 stations and they rotated around the room.  The kids put together I "heart" You Keychains to give to a parent or friend for Valentine's Day.  

There was a story corner where a mom read a Valentine's story about Splat the Cat.  At this station, the kids secretly put together a big giant heart valentine for their teacher Mrs. Hensch.  They each got to sign a little heart and glue it on the big valentine.  At the end, we presented Mrs. Hensch her Valentine and she was very grateful!



At the snack station, the kids had cup cakes in ice cream cones, which they loved!!  They also got to write down an estimate for how many conversation hearts they guessed were in the conversation heart jar.  

Well, believe it or not, guess who won that contest at the end of the party?  Jaxton did!!  He guessed 419 and there were 5 hundred and something, so he was the closest guesser!!  

The kids got to play Valentine's Bingo at another station with conversation hearts.  I think they really enjoyed this one!
It was a great party!  I had a ton of fun planning it, the kids had a ton of fun enjoying it, and all us moms had a ton of fun spending time together!!
