Valentine īs Day
|
|
Hi, I īm making my lesson plans for Valentine īs Day. It īs the first time I am making a celebration like this since I started teaching. I remember when I was in Primary school, Valentine īs day was a BIG DEAL. You could get packets of inexpensive Valentine īs cards and have enough to give everyone in the class. There were also heart-shaped and cinnamon candies. I really enjoyed it and wanted to recreate something like that here. Of course, down here, Valentine īs Day is mostly for couples and it īs summer and school is out, children mostly don īt celebrate it here. I will have to come up with substitute refreshments, etc. I am finding good ideas on the Internet. My question is: Are any of you doing a Valentine īs day cards exchange? How do you manage that? Thanks! Esther

I teach in a self contained classroom so I have fixed number (21) of 7-9 yr. old students. What we do in the primary grades is each student decorates a shoe box (hearts, lace that kind of stuff) and has to bring a card for each of the other students so that no one feels left out. You can have the students make their own cards like the one below but instead of a cake and a present they can glue on hearts, cupids and such. I like to glue the card on contrasting paper to make the card stand out. So for Christmas the outer card might be green and the inside red with a green Christmas tree or if I go with a Santa then the inside card would be green and the outer red. Ed

  That īs great, Ed! I found this pop up card and Love goggles, along with lots of other cool stuff on http://www.makeandtakes.com/heart-healthy-exercise-gameBut the logistics of passing out Valentine Cards was what I was worried about. I like the shoe box idea. I īm going to go with that. Thanks so much! Esther |
