I love Valentine’s Day. I love the heart-shaped cookies and heart-shaped boxes of chocolate(especially dark!). I love the colorful cards and sappy sentiments. I love flowers and going out to dinner with my sweetheart and another couple of sweethearts!
I’ve already bought out the little candy hearts at the grocery store that have the short phrases on them.
Those will become some of the corniest poetry ever in my classroom, and then we’ll eat the candy!
It’s a day to concentrate on the one you love, or the one you’d like to love. A day to make sure they know that they are your Valentine. A day to do one or two little things to make them feel special. A day to give thanks for them in
your life.
There are those who “poo-poo” the commercialization of this day, but I bet they still get that special feeling inside when they receive a card or note from their beloved.
