Dear Families,
Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching! We will have our party on Monday,
February 14th.
We would like to do something fun and different this year! We are going to
have a contest of Valentine’s Day boxes.
Each child will work AT HOME on their Valentine’s box. On Friday, we will vote
and we will give awards to the winners of the best boxes in different categories. DO
NOT BRING THE BOXES IN UNTIL Monday!!!! Students will also be able to exchange
Valentines only if they’ve brought in enough for the whole class (18 students). Any
treats sent in must be store bought and individually wrapped.
Rules:
1) Area of the box should be no larger than 18 ½ in (47cm) x 11in (28cm).
2) Ideas for a box include a shoebox, tissue box, cereal box, oatmeal box or
toy box.
3) Must have a hole big enough to put in Valentines
4) The student must make it themselves. They can receive help from family,
but not help from others in the class.
Suggested materials that can be used are:
Construction paper
Markers
Crayons
Colored Pencils
Ribbon
Foam Shapes
Stickers
Streamers
Craft Sticks
