Program the other half with the corresponding number of stickers. Place the hearts at the Math Center for the children to match. Play a game on heart counting mats. Laminate for extra durability. To play the game, a child draws a card from the pile and announces it to the group.
Every player places the correct number of heart erasers.
Encourage each child to prepare a Friendship Basket which they will give away to a peer mentor or friend in another class. Using a small, rinsed milk carton, demonstrate how to spread glue with a paint brush all over one side of the milk carton. Press colored tissue paper in the glue with the ends overlapping. Add another coat of glue over the entire area. Repeat on the other 3 sides.
