Sending Valentines to Honor Kindness and Character

Do you remember when you were little and went to the store with your mom to very carefully choose which package of valentine cards you'd send to your friends? Most of the cards were just sweet simple little messages, often with a pun like "Will you 'bee' mine?" or maybe "You're out of this world!" with a rocket or a globe. There was always just one special  "To My Teacher" card.  Remember?

Well, now it's your turn to be sending the cards. Those zippy little packs are oh-so-much more cool these days, with pencil toppers and superheroes and fun punch-outs and more. 

Wouldn't it be fun to send a unique card to each of your little sweethearts? How nice would it be at the same time to recognize each child's good character and uniquely important role in your class?



Here are two sets at my Teachers Pay Teachers store that will fill the bill! The first is a set of 30 different cards for your first through fifth graders, emphasizing the character traits of friendliness, kindness, honesty, and positive attitude. Click here to see it.







The second set is specifically for your tiniest valentines, the PreK through first grade crowd. There are 22 different cards in this set. Click here to see this set.









All of these cards are designed so you can just fold and tape, with no envelope needed. After they're opened, your students might like to fold them back, for a desktop display and reminder of just how special you think they are! 


I had so much fun making these! I hope you'll have just as much fun sending them!


Happy Teaching!
