Parents Only!



Parents only!

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

One of the things I love to do with my class on Valentine’s Day is pass out valentines from the children’s parents! I am asking all parents to write their child a “love note” to be passed out at our class valentine celebration. This can be as simple or elaborate as you want. Please return it in an envelope with your child’s name on it in his/her Wednesday Folder or homework folder by Friday, February 10th at the latest! If possible, try to keep it a surprise! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I am also making a bulletin board titled “The Many Languages of Love”. If you know how to say the word “love” in another language, can you write it on a heart and send it with your child to be added to our board? This project is not required, I just like learning from you! J

I LOVE teaching your children!            

Thanks for all you do!
