Valentines Day
In America Valentine's Day is a time when
people
give cards
(Valentines)
with hearts and flowers and cupids and cute
animals
and lately cartoon characters to tell someone that they they
admire,
love or like them. It is a time to let people know they are
special friends or sweethearts.
Flowers are exchanged as well as balloons
and candy.
Roses are generally the flower of choice during
this time of year.
Red and Pink are generally thought to be
Valentine
colors.
Adults go out to eat or plan a special meal to
share with their loved ones and/or families.
Gifts are sometimes exchanged.
In school children exchange Valentine cards in
class. A Valentine's party is planned by the room mothers where
children
play games and exchange Valentines and have a special treat.
Sometimes classes decorate Valentine Sacks or Boxes. It is a fun time to be creative.
Sometimes dances are also planned for older
students.
Sometimes they have Sadie Hawins Dances where
the girls ask the boys out.
