We had so much fun yesterday and I the kids ate more candy than I knew was humanly possible. I just love Valentine's Day- everyone seems happy and the kids always bring me cool coffee mugs and gifts- I swear, it's better than Christmas! Yes!
Some of the highlights were, of course, Candy Heart Graphing and centers! Check it, yo!
Now, for my daily little rant!
I bought two bags of these alpha beads and was going to let the kids make bracelets with their names, using pipe cleaners. However, upon sorting, I discovered that there were only 7 As, in the two packages combined. I think every kid in my class has at least an A or two in their name, so that wasn't going to work. Okay, I wouldn't be so mad if there wasn't an over-abundance of letters that we just don't need that many of. Are you able to see all of those Zs and Qs??
25 Zs!
24 Cs
16 Qs
I think there are a million Bs.
I was so upset yesterday that I started writing a letter to the company, but I think that I was being irrational and just crashing from my sugar high. Do I send it? :)
Okay, back to reality- how adorbs are these Valentine boxes? My kiddos are so darn creative!
Now, for your freebie! I'm releasing a HUGE spring pack this weekend and thought I'd make a freebie with some of the clip art that I'm using. Enjoy!
Thanks for the freebie!! I would totally send a letter to the company. I mean 7 A's! Are they tricking us into buying more packs to get all the letters we need!? Maybe they will send you a pack of A's for free?;)

We did! Thanks for the comment, Stacy!
DeleteUber cute boxes! Concerning the ABC beads--sounds like they wanted you to buy LOTS of bags for the activity. Who in China are you sending the letter to anyway? LOL!!!! Have a fabulous Friday and great weekend!

Thanks, Corinna!
DeleteI wouldn't write the letter while upset, but I would definitely write it and send it to the company. We all know there are not many names with q's and z's.

True that, Dawn.
DeleteI can't believe that's the only amount of A's in the pack! I would definitely let them know. Thanks for the great freebie Irene! :) We made bracelets too but with pony beads to fit into our patterns unit. Have a good weekend!

Sweet- your little twins are the cutest!
DeleteYou should send them a letter. That's just nuts. They can't fix it if they don't know how inconvient it is. Plus who knows, maybe they'll send you a free bag. Those Valentine boxes are cute.
