Valentines

This year, we will have an opportunity to exchange valentines, if your child is interested!  While we cannot have a party on Valentine's Day, we do set aside a few minutes to exchange valentines.  If your child chooses to participate, I ask that you have a valentine for each student in our class.  We have 20 students.  I will provide a list of names below.  *Some students like to leave the "to" line blank and fill in their name in the "from" space.  I think this is helpful since sometimes the space to write is so small. That is completely up to you.*
