Fredonia Preschool Celebrates Valentine’s Day with Fun and Learning

By Lumen Cristy Ihong

Love, laughter, and learning filled the classroom during Fredonia Elementary School’s
Preschool Valentine’s Party held on February 11, 2025. The special celebration, thoughtfully
organized by Mrs. Jeanne Crookston, Fredonia Elementary School’s Kindergarten and
Preschool teacher, combined festive fun with meaningful learning experiences designed
especially for young learners.

To make the day engaging and educational, Mrs. Crookston prepared five interactive learning
centers that allowed preschool students to rotate through hands-on activities while celebrating
Valentine’s Day. The first center featured a Valentine Bingo game, where students practiced
listening and matching skills in an exciting group setting. At the second center, children enjoyed
decorating heart-shaped cookies, encouraging creativity while developing fine motor skills.

Learning continued at the third center through a Valentine Math activity focused on adding
numbers, helping students strengthen early math concepts in a fun and meaningful way. The
fourth center, a Valentine Cover Up game, provided another opportunity for students to practice
number recognition and counting skills. At the fifth center, students created Valentine crafts to
take home and share with their families, adding a personal and heartfelt touch to the
celebration.

The preschoolers also joined in the festive spirit by wearing red and pink outfits, filling the
classroom with bright colors and joyful energy. The event highlighted how learning and
celebration can come together to create meaningful and memorable experiences for young
children.

Fredonia Preschool continues to provide a nurturing environment where students learn through
play, creativity, and hands-on exploration. Families interested in giving their child the opportunity
to experience fun and meaningful learning at Fredonia are encouraged to inquire about
upcoming preschool registration.
