I knew when I put this valentine bucket together t I knew when I put this valentine bucket together that my toddler probably wouldn't care...at all. And I was correct!

But I had fun doing it and honestly, besides the box of chocolates, I had all this stuff lying around that I had grabbed at Dollar Tree or Target clearance.

I also added a book (that was purchased months ago and was being saved for a rainy day) and a new Moana matching game that I made.

She got lots of love and hugs today and was her sassy, feisty self so it was basically just the usual around here! Hope everyone is feeling some love today! ❤💜💙

You can grab them for FREE at the link below.I'll be printing these out to use at home with my kiddo. "Yucky Charms" is one of her favorite cereals 😂 We'll work on one-to-one correspondence to match the marshmallows to the pictures.

⭐ NEW MONTH ⭐ NEW READING LOG 📚I absolutely loved the start of a new month when teaching because it always meant a fresh reading log in take-home folders. My students always looked forward to their new logs so they could see the new picture they would be coloring for each book they read.I used their monthly reading logs for the Pizza Hut @bookitprogram and also with my classroom reward system. I also let students borrow books who may not have had too many at home. These were always a huge hit with students and families!🔗 bit.ly/readinglogsallyear ... See MoreSee Less
