Valentine's Day

We will celebrate this holiday with a class party during which the children will be invited to exchange valentine cards. Valentine cards that are homemade are a delight to receive! Making cards can be a great way to spend a gloomy winter day. Whether your child creates his own cards or wants the packaged ones from the store, exchanging valentines is a tradition. When preparing the valentines, please write (or have your child write) his or her name on each card. Please DO NOT address the cards to individual children; we will make sure that each child receives a card. We have 32 children in our class, so please send enough for each child. The children will enjoy an art activity where they will create a valentine mail bag in class at the beginning of the week. For children not in school on Valentine's Day, we will send home their Valentine's bag on their next day at school.
