Just a reminder that we will be exchanging Valentine's day cards on Wednesday, Feb. 12.  I sent home a class list with information about Valentine's day on Monday.  The photo above is an example of a Valentine's day box make from a shoebox.  I saw some amazing ideas on Pinterest.  Have fun make the boxes and Valentine's with your child!
