Well, they have already been talking about it... VALENTINE'S DAY! Yes, we will be exchanging valentines and a note went home today with a list of names for our classroom. Addressing valentines is a great opportunity for writing at home - and your child (not you) should be doing the writing ;) Or you can share the task.
This is also a great opportunity for a family project! Your other task is to construct a valentines mailbox. There are a plethora of ideas online (and Pinterest - wowee). But I took the liberty of finding some examples in the links below.
The goals of this project are:
1. Have FUN!
2. Work together on something meaningful.
3. Get creative!
WARNING: This project will take some time (but it WILL be worth it!). Make it a weekend project!

Enjoy! Your child should have his/her mailbox and valentines ready for Friday, February 14th!
