Magnifying Glass Valentines {FREEBIE}

I saw this awesome idea online to use a magnifying glass on a valentine.  I am always looking for fun ways to celebrate this fun day, so I thought I would make a teacher version.  The original version said, "Hey valentine, I've had my eye on you."  I thought that would be a little scary for a kindergartener to receive from a teacher, so I made it kid friendly by saying, "You are Lookin' Good!"

 

 

Just buy yourself some magnifying glasses (6 for $0.96 at Wal-Mart in the Valentine's Day section, or also at Dollar Tree in the party supplies), make two slits, and you are all set to go.

Honoring Martin Luther King, Jr.

We talked about MLK on Friday.  Sometimes I forget the kiddos are so young, because I was surprised when only a few had heard of MLK.  We read a book about him, and then completed a freebie easy reader I got from Simply Kinder (click on the link to reach the post with the freebie).  I also have an easy reader in my social studies reader pack.  On the back page of the Simply Kinder book, there was a small writing prompt.  I love what my students came up with!

We talked about how one person can change the world.  The more I learn about MLK, the more I am in awe of his accomplishments.  What an amazing person!
