Valentine’s Day Party!
On Friday, February 13th, we will celebrate Valentine’s Day with a
special snack and exchange Valentine cards. We will have the children
make one valentine in class to exchange at school on Valentine’s
Day. We will put all
the children’s names in a basket. Each
child will choose a name of a classmate and give their valentine to that
child. We will use
this as an opportunity to practice our manners. We will have a treat to share at
group time. Anyone
interested in providing this treat (strawberries or apples?), please let me
know.
