It's that time of year again when cupid can be seen fluttering around with his arrows.  Each year the students decorate boxes for their Valentines.  These boxes can be shoe, cereal, tissue, whatever you may have at home.  The students need to decorate the boxes for one of our themes: Most Creative, Most Beautiful, Most Colorful, Original/Funny, or Strangest and then bring the box in for our party.  These are done at home, however if the students need materials (construction paper for example), they are welcome to get that from our room.  There are really only 3 rules: The student's name is clearly and obviously on the box, a way to get the Valentines in easily, and a way to get the Valentines out easily.  The reason I have students do this at home is because it is my hope that it is a fun family time.  Happy creating and have fun!!

One more note on Valentine's Day: I have only one rule for Valentines and that is if you are bringing Valentines, you need to bring one for everyone in the class.  A class list will be coming home soon so that you can make sure not to miss anyone and to make sure names are spelled correctly.  Happy hearts day!!
