The holiday season has barely ended, and now we approach Valentine’s Day. (I was actually in a store right before Christmas, and they already had the Valentine’s displays out.) This can be another hard/lonely holiday for many people. What a great time to work on an authentic project for others.
If Valentine’s Day is not celebrated where you live, what similar holidays are? Actually, this is a great research idea, how/where is Valentine’s Day celebrated around the world? What ideas can we use from other countries for ideas for our project?
Even young children can brainstorm ideas for how to remember others on Valentine’s Day. Start with an age appropriate introduction to the holiday, and go from there! Research/Brainstorm/Vote/Implement! Authentic!
