Do children, in elementary school, still give Valentines to each other?

1 Answer

Answer :

They sure do. I teach 3rd grade. I get them to each make up a rather large pouch (envelope type thing) for the front of their desks. They decorate it and put their name on the front. Then, in the morning each child gets to go around to the other students’ desks and drop in the Valentine. :)
