Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Having been out of elementary school for so long, (and having been single my whole life) I forgot how fun of a holiday Valentine's Day can be. Now that I'm student teaching, I got to see it from a teacher's perspective.

This year, the kids each had a gallon ice cream pail that they decorated with construction paper. We got these from a fellow teacher who has a ice cream bucket stash (collaboration = awesome). My mentor teacher and I hot glued the construction paper on the buckets after school on Thursday, and then cut a hole in each lid.

Since I knew the kiddos were going to get a crazy amount of candy, so I opted for glow bracelets instead. What kid doesn't love glow bracelets? :)

Cost: 
Glow sticks: $5 for 25, Walmart (I bought 5 packs of 5, each $1)
