Valentine Exchange

Feb6

Valentine’s Day is next Wednesday and our class will be having a Valentine exchange.  I had great plans to have students create simple machine focuses Valentine boxes, but sadly it just isn’t going to happen this year.  This means, your child can create any type of collection vessel they would like.

A reminder that in accordance with school policy, there should be no candy exchanged.  I know that some classes allow it, but our class will maintain the policy of the school.

Please check your child’s backpack for the list of students in our class.  Children do not have to participate, but if they choose to bring something for one student, they must bring something for all students.

If you have any questions regarding Valentine’s Day, please let me know.
