ETA: I sent my Valentines out and I am on my way to spend the weekend with family and will not have internet coverage. Just wanted to thank everyone. Kyle and I put together Valentines this morning he was very excited to send them to my Pea friends. Thanks again! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX's
op Please sent enough for the entire class not just your kids friends. Which is also a school rule that was not followed today. I have a sad boy here who doesn't understand why nobody likes him. Jen

Oh I'm so sorry, that really stinks. I was in elementary school 20 years ago and even then we always had to bring enough for the entire class.

jumperhop, do you want to send me your address and I will send your son a valentine? It likely won't get there til Monday, but if you don't mind, I don't mind. And how old is your DS so I pick out something age appropriate?

That is terrible. That was even a rule back when I was in school!

I'm so sorry that happened. It is the rule in my classroom and I'll make sure it is followed tomorrow when we exchange cards.

So sorry. I was always the one to dread it because I didn't know if I would get any valentines. I usually got one with something nasty written on it too. Ah, memories.
But then a couple of years ago, my dd asked me to help her write her cards. I told her she could write the names herself, and she said no, she could totally do that, she needed me to help her write on each card for every child (plus teachers) something she liked about each person. Some she had to think about and she wrote one compliment to each person. It won't last I'm sure, but that idea was straight from her little heart and I was so touched.

That is awful. I'm so sad for him. It's a rule here that everyone gets a valentine and I double checked last night when my nephew filled his out to make sure everyone got one.
When I was in school long ago I was bigger than the other kids and I always got the valentines with hippos and elephants on them. It was really upsetting to me. I'm glad they don't make those valentines anymore.

I'll send one too! Please pm his address.
I always fill out all of the valentines to match the class list and then also send in all the blank extras, in case kids got missed.
My heart literally hurts for your little man.

That is so sad! DD had her party today and the teachers were VERY specific with how it was to be done. There had to be enough for the entire class, and DD was to only write her name on the back. They weren't allowed to even pick which card went to which kid. I think the teachers doled them out into each kid's bag.

I'm so sorry this happened to your little guy. When my kids were younger, the spelling list for the week was the class list and writing a full class set of Valentine cards part of the assignment.

My internet is working at a 1997 pace tonight. I am slowly getting back with everyone.
Kyle would absolutely love send out Valentines as we have the day off school tomorrow and it will be a fun activity. So please if you know anyone who could use a card send me your address and we will get them out tomorrow.
Thanks for literally changing my night i went from sad to thrilled, I appreciate it. Jen

I always tell my classroom kids that they don't have to bring Valentines, but if they do they bring for every single person. If they want to exchange gifts (some of the girls do) that they must do it in private and no where in the classroom. So not cool to make other kids feel badly.
