Can everyone share Valentine's Day ideas?
By MrsCrystal

Clip to ScrapBook   
I'm used to upper-grade, and I know primary makes a bigger deal out of Valentine's Day, so I'd better come up with something cute! However, we have a no junk food policy at my school, which means no candy, cupcakes, soda,
etc. even for class parties.

I need to come up with relatively healthy food to serve at our party (maybe somehow theme-oriented), and some (hopefully standards-based) activities for that day.

I have one idea to share in exchange for yours: last year in 5th, I sent home a list of students' names in their weekly homework packet before V-day. Their assignment was to
write one kind comment about each person on the list. Once I collected all of them, I typed up the list for each student and they received a whole sheet full of compliments from their classmates on Valentine's Day. They loved it!
