While preparing for Valentine's Day in the classroom, teachers may want to take the time to send a note home to parents that includes a list of names of all students in the class. All students need to be encouraged to remember each of their classmates when making out Valentine's cards, so no one is left out of the fun of the day. Through cards, decorations and imaginative games that let students get to know one another better, closer relationships may be formed and a more positive learning environment created. Holidays, while enjoyable and festive, are also a great way to teach students about sharing and caring.
