Valentines' Day is right around the corner and the Cottontails are excited to celebrate in a number of ways. With Valentines' Day, brings another beloved Willowwind tradition - the Secret Valentine Exchange. Your child will learn more about this K-6 fun next week, but I wanted to communicate to you what it entails early enough to give you time to prepare.
Next Wednesday, students will "draw" a slip that will highlight who they will deliver secret Valentine gifts to the week of Valentine's (M, Tu, W, & Th). I will communicate home with you who your child selected. Then, beginning Monday, February 11th your child will deliver a HOMEMADE daily gift to their recipient's Valentine mail sleeve. Along with this HOMEMADE gift they must also deliver a clue that hints to their identity. On Thursday, February 14th, they will reveal their identity with one last, slightly larger, gift.
Here is where your help is needed!
Please help your child prepare TWO HOMEMADE GIFTS and TWO CLUES. As part of our Fabric unit, we will prepare one of our homemade gifts and corresponding clue here at school. Then, on Monday, February 11th have your child bring their two HOMEMADE gifts and clues to school to deliver throughout the week. One of these two HOMEMADE gifts can be a baked good. If your child would like to deliver a baked good please email to confirm any possibly food allergies or restrictions before gifting.
On Thursday, February 14th we will have a big Secret Valentine Reveal where child will reveal their identity and they will also learn who has secretly delivered gifts to them throughout the week. To prepare for this your child will need bring one final gift for the big reveal. This gift must a book no greater in value than $5. This book does not need to be brand new and can be gifted from your own library if it is like new condition. Please note that 100% participation is required in this school wide tradition.
In addition to our weeklong K-6 Valentines' fun, the Cottontails will also be having a small class party. Your child may bring class Valentines if they'd like. This activity is optional. If your family is interested, please note that there are 12 students in our class, and that a Valentine must be delivered to each classmate. Our class list is below.
As always, please let me know if you have questions. I will communicate who your child will be delivering gifts to next Wednesday afternoon. We're looking forward to a week of love!
