The Teddy Bear class enjoyed the best Valentine’s Day party, ever! The LOVE was everywhere! We started our party by painting a WOODEN TEDDY BEAR CRAFT and DECORATING A HEART COOKIE to win a Treat Bag. Then we played a riveting VALENTINE BINGO and won a Soft Monkey Friend, and then played a HEART MATCH GAME and won a Box of Chocolates and more! Then we sang “I Love You” with Barney and checked out our special Valentines from our classmates. Then it was on to devouring a feast of Valentine’s snacks. And then we proceeded to enjoy watching a Valentine’s movie: Madly Madagascar! And to wind down the festivities, we read “Valentine Cats”. Thank you to all the kids and their parents, the Valentines were spectacular this year!
And a huge thank you to Theodore, Maddie Scalvini, for going above and beyond, surprising me with a gorgeous bouquet of lavender roses (that Teddy picked out) and fancy chocolates, Avery, Nerissa Quinn, for the special beautiful Valentine’s box of chocolates, and Audrey Jo and Colbie Lynn, Lindsay Kirk, for the awesome home-made fabulous tasting heart cookies!!! I am so grateful and thankful and feel truly overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you!!! I feel appreciated and immensely loved!
