As a mom of three small boys, only two of which old enough to participate in school activities, I was the one who ended up making up these traditional cards as my boys were completely uninterested in doing any of the prep work themselves. Since I didn't want them to be left out at the school party, I ended up making these cards, signing their names and as a consequence, ended up not real excited about Valentines Day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745483955719090967.post-6771627082564220512009-02-12T21:28:00.000-05:002009-02-12T21:28:00.000-05:00I like the way you did not make Valentines Day the center of what they are learning. Most teachers would use this technique but to me it is the easy way out. Meaningful learning is the most important thing. All the children are not going to be into Valentines Day and it is not for everyone. Presidents Day sure is a holiday to celebrate! I am in college and studying Early Childhood Education. Thank you for your meaningful efforts for our children!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
