When I looked for a picture of the Valentine cards I remember giving when I was in elementary school I had to use the search term "vintage". Boy am I dating myself! Every card was printed on sturdy thin cardboard and no two were the same. They all had to be cut out by hand and one had to be very selective who received which card lest the message conveyed something unintentional. I remember spending hours cutting, choosing the perfect beneficiary, and laboriously printing names the night before Valentine's Day. No fancy stickers, toys, lollipops or candies involved, just homemade cupcakes to share with the class.
For most of Team Awesome this will be the first experience with Valentine's Day and cards and the children have a general idea what its all about. We will be doing some activities like crafts with hearts throughout the week but of course will go all-out on Friday. Goodies to share with the class are most welcome and fruits and veggies always go over well with the children. All snacks must be peanut-free. Please make sure the 'To' and 'From' parts on Valentine cards are filled in before coming to class as we will not have time on Friday to do that. Have your child bring them in a bag and then put the whole bag in the Home Box so they don't get lost/ crunched- we will hand them out later in the day. I will try (for my own sanity) to dissuade the children from eating the candies that are attached to many cards and sometimes cards get mixed up with someone else's when we are looking at them.
Here is a class list of names to help with cards:
Grayson Dorian Kiera Jacob Colby
Sintse Setty Mason Lara Valletta
Brynn Bailey Samuel Andon Riley
Aiden Logan Kahli Emilia Shaye
