They include measurement, adding, equations, comparing fractions, and more.
“What did you get?” says one little voice with their head buried in a white bag with glitter and white hearts all over.
“Wow! Look at this card!” exclaims another pulling out a small rectangle with their favorite character on it.
“Yes!!!” says another excited voice as they pull out a yummy piece of candy.
Valentine’s Day! It is such a fun holiday for little ones as each child passes out the cards they painstakingly choose and then gets to dig through their bag to see what they have received.
