Celebrating Valentine's Day

So the origins of Valentine's Day are dubious.  I've never been too keen about it.  However, as part of the Kindergarten curriculum and since we live in a society that celebrates, we learned about. it  I borrowed quite a few books from the library about Valentine's Day and discovered that there are many different ideas about where it started and many interesting ways that it's celebrated. We discussed the symbols and read stories about it.  We made some Valentine's crafts and exchanged cards.  We baked heart shaped chocolate pretzels which were, umm, interesting.  However, I  think Z1 enjoyed the whole thing.  Happy Valentine's Day!!
