A Brief Look at Valentine’s Day for Young Children
Valentine’s Day is more than just candy hearts and cute cards. It’s a special opportunity to reinforce themes of kindness, love, and friendship among your students. You can begin by explaining the day’s focus on showing care and appreciation for others. Encourage them to think about simple acts of kindness, like giving compliments or helping a friend, and invite them to share their own heart warming stories. By fostering empathy and respect, you’ll build a positive classroom community that extends far beyond the holiday.
