My Project

Help me make this Valentine’s Day extra special for my sweet class. My class is very sweet and they are always looking for ways to help others. I want to make their Valentines extra special with a few treats.

Since we will be in school on Valentine’s Day, the students will be exchanging cards and eating sweet treats.

The items in this project will be used to make their day extra special. We will use our long straws to make special arrows to give to another person in our school community. While students are working on their arrows, they can enjoy a story about Valentine’s Day and some snacks. They will be able to use their spy pen and note pad to write hidden messages. We will also decorate the room with hearts. I am hoping that with this project, ALL of my students will leave school that day feeling special.
