This month our nursery rhyme is "The Queen of Hearts."
The Queen of Hearts,
She made some tarts
All on a summer’s day.
The Knave of Hearts,
He stole the tarts
And took them clean away.
To begin the day today we made tarts (cupcakes). When we came back to the classroom after washing our hands for snack they were gone, and in their place was a letter. The letter was from the knave stating that he stole our tarts and in order to get them back we needed to go on a scavenger hunt around the school. Each child was given a map that had hearts programed with letters on them. In the hallways of the school we found pink hearts hanging up. Each heart contained three pictures. We listened to the beginning sound of the pictures and determined what letter they began with. We then colored the corresponding heart in on our map. The last heart for the scavenger hunt was on our classroom door. When we walked into the room it was transformed into a Valentine oasis. The tables had tablecloths on them, there were Valentine plates and napkins, cups, and our TARTS!!! The children had lots of fun during this experience.
