Poems, Flowers, Chocolates...and Literacy?

Valentine’s Day: some of us love it, some of us dread it. But, either way – like all holidays – Valentine’s Day brings fun and unique opportunities to practice some of our essential skills. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on that special someone to say “I care”; instead, here’s a few ideas on how to give big, spend little, and practice your reading and writing skills all at the same time:

♥Write a poem – even a simple haiku can sum up your feelings for someone

♥Learn a new recipe and cook your honey a homemade meal

♥Leave little love notes around your house or apartment that tell them how much you care

♥Learn the lyrics of a song you feel express your feelings about your relationship and serenade your significant other

Learning may not be the first word that comes to mind when thinking of romance, but with a little creativity, they can go hand-in-hand.

Have a great Valentine’s Day!
