Valentine's Day is approaching quickly! We will be exchanging Valentines.  You can decide if you'd like to send Valentines for the class.  If you choose to have your child bring Valentines, please bring 1 for each student.  We have 25 students in the class.  Please have your child ONLY write who the Valentine is from.  We do not put who they are to because it is too hard to pass them out.  Please plan on bringing 25 that can be easily placed into our Valentine Bags.  Also, please do not include food, candy or treats in your Valentine.  You may include a very small trinket that attaches to your Valentine if you would like.
