Hello, everyone! Today, we're going on a special journey back in time to discover why we celebrate a very special day—Valentine's Day! Get ready to learn about love, friendship, and sweet surprises!
To kick things off, let’s gather around for a fun story!
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago—about 1,700 years ago!—there was a kind man named Valentine. He lived in a place called Rome. Valentine loved helping people. He noticed that many soldiers weren’t allowed to marry because of a rule made by the emperor. So, Valentine decided to help them! He secretly married the soldiers to their sweethearts.
But one day, the emperor found out! Valentine was captured and put in jail. While he was in jail, he made friends with the jailer's daughter, and they wrote love notes to each other. They would share their kindness and friendship even from afar.
When Valentine was freed, people remembered his acts of love and kindness. That’s why, today, we celebrate Valentine’s Day in honor of love and friendship!
Now that we know why we celebrate Valentine's Day, let’s create our own love notes!
“I love my mom because she gives the best hugs!”
Valentine’s Day is all about love, friendship, and caring for each other—just like Valentine did all those years ago! So, always remember to spread love and kindness every day. Can’t wait to see your wonderful notes! 🥰
Now, let’s dive deeper into adventures of love through history in the rest of our lesson! 🌟
