What a great lesson plan!
This year my own kids are doing something different instead of handing out Valentine’s Day cards. My daughter made Rainbow Loom bracelets with paper charms that have her classmates’ names on them. My son made one card for the class (instead of 20+) and donated craft supplies to Sick Kids Hospital on behalf of his classmates. We also did this for the Girl Guides. http://getbettergifts.sickkidsfoundation.com//
Those are very inspiring ideas! Thanks so much for sharing, Tara. You’ve got great kids!!
I just read your awesome Valentine’s Day Capitalization post, and had to come back to my comment here because I figured I wrote “valentines” wrong. But, I guess I got lucky because I referred to them as “Valentine’s Day cards”. My son still says “Valentimes”. He doesn’t even believe me that he’s wrong. I’m going to tell him your trick. Maybe we need a “Sprout Says” graphic for that one.

Valentine’s Day cards or valentine cards, both are correct! It’s tough to keep track of all the rules, even for native speakers!
