My husband has always been in food service, so we didn’t have many Valentine’s Days together; however, the day after is the anniversary of our first date… 31 years ago! So my favorite thing about Valentine’s Day is the day after!
My favorite thing about Valentine’s Day is having a specified day to share with those I love.
Chocolate!
Each and every day is Valentines Day.
It’s all about love.
Seeing the boxes the students create to put their Valentines in.
LOVE the creativity and how it shows their personality and interests.
A day with the focus on kindness is refreshing!!
The joy on my Kindergarten students faces when they read their Valentine’s cards from friends.
I think Valentine’s day is a wonderful time to share your love with others.
I love going out for dinner the day after ~ it’s too crowded on the actual Valentine’s Day!
I love the colorful, creative Valentines.
The valentines that are hand made for my students rather than store bought mean the most.
I love all the hearts and lace and pretty things but even more I love that it is a chance to teach the students to share love with everyone.
I love the excitement of the students when they pass out their Valentines.
Dark Chocolate! and spreading kindness
I love the feeling of kindness…and the chocolate!
I love seeing all my students showing such caring about each other
Chocolate.
I love that it is a simple holiday, passing our Valentines, I don’t have a man in my life, but I get a lot of love from my students that day!
It is an opportunity to celebrate kindness and an excuse to have chocolate! :*)
My favorite aspect is all the kindness and love that is shared and of course chocolate ♥
My husband always has flowers delivered for myself nd our two girls.
My favorite thing about Valentine’s Day is the sharing and friendship I see in my classroom.It makes me smile!
Spending time with loved ones.
Spending time with my sweetheart.
Making my own valentines specifically for friends and family!
It’s really about the kids. The children and their giant hearts!!
