Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite days to celebrate in preschool.  I asked the children what Valentine’s Day means to them, and they came up with many answers: making cards for people you love; baking cookies for friends; eating chocolate.  One child said, “Valentine’s Day is about being kind.”  I couldn’t agree more.  I like to use this holiday as an opportunity to talk about kindness and what it means to be kind.  It was such a happy week in the Red Class with the spirit of love and friendship in the air!

The children got a lot of writing practice making valentines for their friends and family.

We made shortbread heart cookies for our special treat.
