It's Valentine's Galore!

Help me give my students materials to have a fun Valentine's Day where no one feels left out.

Kankakee, IL Grades PreK-2

My Project

Each year I have students that do have valentines to pass out to their friends. This always causes the child to feel bad and usually to be very upset. This always breaks my heart that they don't get to participate in passing out Valentine's. I always try to make sure that I have some for each child just in case.

This project will allow many students to pass out valentine's that may not have been able to before.

Not only are we going to be able to pass out our valentine's but we are also going to have a place to put them. This project also gives us bags to decorate so we can store our treasures in a special place. I am hoping to provide my students with a fun day where everyone gets to participate.
