Put Your Heart Into Reading
1. Help your child choose 2 books that they can read in under 15 minutes.
2. Help them design and decorate a Valentine's Box that represents an element in one of their books. For example, if your child chose to read a book about baseball, then they might make a box that looks like a giant baseball. :)
*Please see the pink letter that came home on Monday for specific details.
*Check out Pinterest and http://www.simplykinder.com/valentines-box-family-project/ for ideas!
