Mahalo,

I don't need to be entered into the drawing, I already have this book. It is on my keeper shelf. I enjoyed it last year and have pulled it out to read again this year. Whoever wins it is in for a treat.
ReplyDeleteI have never given a Valentines to anyone. Received a few.
ReplyDeleteI did. We made some and bought some.
ReplyDeleteYes I would give them to everyone in my class.
ReplyDeleteBetween scissor-cut hearts and glitter, we generally made more of a mess than anything. But it was always the thought that counted.
ReplyDeleteWe would give out Valentines to the whole class, something my kids did too when they were in elementary school.
ReplyDeleteI remember making a Valentine post box which we all hung up along the chalk board and then we would distribute our Valentines in all of them.
ReplyDeleteI only made a Valentine for my mom. I used lots of pink and glittery stuff. I'm not sure they were ever pretty, but she liked them. Despite the fact that we don't celebrate Valentines day so much, it was a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteLoved the valentines but even more was making the boxes to put them in - I enjoy anything artistic.
ReplyDeleteOnly in the elementary school.
ReplyDeletein elementary school
ReplyDeleteYes, in elementary school.
ReplyDeleteIn elementary school we always passed out valentines. I always liked looking through them when I got home from school that day.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely I remember that classroom valentine box and making paper valentines, Kim! Toward the last of my elementary school years I recall buying cheap valentines too that I thought looked classier than the homemade ones. And then we counted them to see who got the most...and if a secret admirer or a special boy had written anything nice on ours! Ha. Romance even at that tender young age...it begins early. :-) We also gave valentines to the teacher...and she brought candy to pass out to all of the students. It was a fun day and broke the monotony of learning from books. I like to think we did some learning about human kindness and love at that time too. Thanks for the post, Kim! jdh2690@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI remember making the heart cards with my kids, but I don't remember whether we did it in school when I was a kid. Too many years ago to remember. lol
ReplyDeleteWe always gave valentines to the classmates and teacher when I was a kid.
