Last week many of my students began to talk about what
they wanted on their Valentine’s Day cards and that they asked their parents about
them. However, after much thinking while watching the Patriots game and one thing
that really stood out was many of them mentioned that they weren’t probably
going to buy any because they had no money. Another factor that really stood out
was when I was a child, I never really saved any of those cards. So in reality it
was a waste of money. So this week after much thinking about it, I have decided
to show my students how to make their own Valentine’s Day cards where some
will keep them and later down the road a few will look back and think about that
particular grade and who gave it to them. This week and next week
these cards will be our focus. This week they will be learning how to make
Cupids Arrow, Heart Bags made out of felt and a Heart Card made from felt as
well.
