Valentine's Day & Other News

Our class will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Friday, February 14^th (and what a busy day that will be).  Please read the following information about our class’ activities.  Please see below for information regarding our celebration and your child's valentine cards/gifts.   

*Your child will need a plain shoe box to decorate by Monday, February 10^th.  You are able to send in the shoe box at any time. 

*We have 18 students in our class.  If you child wants to pass our treat bags, candy, valentines, etc. please make sure everyone is included.  A class roster is included below and is also permanently on the webpage and blog tabs.  Your child should personally address his/her valentines to their classmates.  It is good practice for learning the spelling of classmates' names, practice good penmanship, and taking ownership when giving and receiving gifts.      

*We will be visiting the retirement home to sing songs, deliver Valentines, and brighten the day of the residents earlier in the day on Valentine's Day as well.  

*Our Valentine’s Day party is a “Hearty Party” and we will be learning about food and nutrition throughout the month of February.  Therefore, I will be asking for heart healthy treats rather than sweets, candy, cupcakes, and other “traditional” party foods. 

       **Our Valentine’s Day party is usually a low-key classroom party where 

       the students exchange Valentines, sing songs, eat healthy snacks, play 

       a BINGO game, and bond as a class.

         **This is the only classroom event/party where I ask that no parents or 

        family members attend so we are able to celebrate with one another in 

        a fun, casual way. 

          **If you signed up to send in food/drinks for the party, you can send it 

        in a few days before Valentine’s day or the morning of the party.  To 

          sign-up to send items in, click here.  

Thanks so much for your understanding.  Let me know if you have any questions.
