Valentine's Day

One of my favorite things about elementary school was our electives. We had AMAZING teachers for everything. I only had one class for my entire grade! Remind you, in elementary school, I had the normal electives, art, library, gym, band, choir, health and the ones, I'm guessing, others didn't have, home ec, shop/woodwork, a science experimenting class and "special" art (if you were creative). Those are the ones that I can think of, I'm sure there were at least one or two more. 

The kids I grew up with. My first boyfriend is sitting next to me. ;) 

My favorite times, in music class, were when we got to have FUN days! For holidays, we got a packet of festive songs that we could choose from as to what we wanted to sing. One of my favorites, from Valentine's Day, was "Will you be my V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E?" It was simple but fun. Will you be my V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E? If you will you’ll surely know how happy I will be. Sugar spice and all things nice that’s what you are to me. Will you be my V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E? (Repeat and clap like B-I-N-G-O) There were also the games like 7-Up Heads Up Valentine's Day style... you'd put a valentine under the kid's chair. We'd sing, I'm making a big red valentine, I'm making a big red valentine, just for you, with our heads down, as the kids went around slipping the valentines under chairs. Oh memories!
