Incorporate literature. Read stories about caring and friendship.

Writing Ideas

Words for Valentines:

Make a handout or chart so children do not need to continually ask how to spell.

If the school has children of different ethnic backgrounds a list of the translations into several languages such as Hmong, Spanish, French, German, or other languages as well as the appropriate Braille and signing for the deaf should be included. Maybe a tape could be made with voices of people saying, "I love you" and "You are my friend" in several languages or individual ones could be done on cards for the Language Master if the school has one.
