My Valentine

 

Did you ever enjoy Valentine's Day?  What did you do?

Are you going to enjoy a Galentine's Party?  What are you going to do?

Do you have any friends that make you feel everything is going to be okay?  Describe a friend who can do that.  How do they do that?

Friday the 13th

Are you superstitious?  Are you extra careful on Friday the 13th?

 Juan Carlos made a lot of sense when he said that a live cat should be better luck than a dead rabbit.

How is today going for you?  What brings good luck? 

Can you write any examples that show that a superstition is true or not true?  (Faride wore pearls on her wedding day and has a wonderful marriage.  Reham's sister was born on the 13th and is a very lucky person.)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Nobody usually gets off work or school for Valentine's Day.

While named for a Catholic Saint, Valentine's Day is not a Christian holiday.

When  preschool or elementary school kids go to school, they often make or buy (a big pack of)

little paper valentines for everyone in their classes.  Some children will add lollipops.  

Many children will wear red and/or hearts.
