Last Friday, the class celebrated Valentine's day. Although the holiday<br />
is marked on <strong>February</strong> 14th in the calendar, we celebrated it on the<br />
13th this year. This was due to the fact that the 14th ended up being a<br />
Saturday. Not wanting to deprive the students of the celebration, we<br />
decided to have a little bit of fun on Friday in honour of the holiday.<br />
The children took candy and other assorted sweets to share with their<br />
classmates, fostering an atmosphere of friendship and caring. Also,<br />
there were many games played, and many great laughs and fun<br />
moments to be had.<br />
Valentine's day is celebrated in honour of the Roman priest, St.<br />
Valentine, he lived in second century Rome, and married couples in<br />
secret when this practice was outlawed by then-emperor Claudius II.<br />
Because of his brave acts in the name of love, he is remembered on<br />
this day.
