Valentine’s Party
Our Valentine’s Day party will be on
Friday, February 16th. For this day,
your child is invited to bring valentines to pass out, as well as a box or bag
to keep their valentines safe.
Your child can make a Valentine Box
(or bag) at home. They can be as simple
as a decorated brown paper bag or as complicated as papier-mâché. It’s up to
you! Just make sure there is an opening
for first graders to easily place their valentines into.
Your child needs to bring a valentine
for each child in our class. These can be store bought or homemade! (If your
family does not have the resources to provide valentines for your child, please
let me know and your child can make some at school.)
Please be sure to send your child’s
valentines and valentine boxes ON February 16th. Our room can get really crowded, so please do
not send them ahead of time.
