Remember all those fancy ideas I had for Valentine’s for BBC? Even with the best intentions and several snow days we did not do a single one of those projects. I realized Sunday around 5 pm that Monday was V-Day. We didn’t have a thing to give to his class. In a panic, I ran to Walmart. After several minutes in the Valentine’s aisle, these pencils inspired me.
These are first graders and learning to write is a key part of their daily lessons. I decided to make these little flags for each pencil. They read, “VALENTINE, you have the WRITE stuff!” A little corny but it will work!
It didn’t take me too long to get 30 finished but my hand was a little cramped from all the tedious details. It is also our week to bring snacks so I picked up Valentine themed fruit snacks for Monday. I love it when a last-minute plan comes together!
Hope your plans come together today! Have a wonderfully Happy Valentine’s Day!
