Valentines: Simple Classroom Traditions

Dear Teacher, 

Are you ready to celebrate Valentine's Day? It is just around the corner and my students have already begun whispering about all the fun they are expecting at the annual Valentine's Day party. 

Party planning is not high on my priority list with state testing looming in the close future. This is where my "simple classroom traditions" save the day! 

Simple Classroom Traditions

Simple Classroom Traditions are one of the key components of my method to Passionate Teaching. This is a plan that I have created and re-use year after year. I simply open up my monthly box and pull out all of the things inside. A few quick room decorations to spice things up, a list of games and all the pieces, my outline of what I want the parents to do, and of course... my gift for my students. These monthly kits is what saves my sanity!  

Valentine's Day Cards

When I start teaching, I was that teacher a day before Valentine's day desperately trying to find a box of cards my students would like and candy to go with it. Living in a small town, these things sell out quick and I have been left scrambling one too many times!

I finally ended that once and for all! I created a valentine day card that I can print on cardstock. I printed out 100 of these, spent a few hours signing my name and put them in my monthly kit. 
Now all I have to do each year is buy the candy. Since my husband is the one who grocery shops, I put it on the list in January and wait for it to magically appear. Then I stick a piece of candy on it and am good to go within 5 minutes! 

Stress Free Valentine's! It is the way to go my friend!

Talk Soon!
