Valentine's Day Cards

For the last 4 years, we have enjoyed making our own special, personality-specific Valentine's Day cards for our friends. It all started with a Family Fun magazine subscription one of my former students gave me as an end of the year gift. Boy, did they get it right! The boys and I have shared many fun crafts, recipes, and books because of the wonderful ideas in that magazine. We look forward to the Valentine's Day issue every year. We can't wait to examine the pages over and over again until we can find the cards that best suit each one of us. This year I even included my new teachers.

K combined two different cards into one that he loved. He liked the camo card with 2nd grade appropriate phrases. J wanted to make heart shaped crayons with a card that said, "You color my world." I love that they were able to find something to fit them perfectly...my camo boy and my little artist.
