Valentines day to me is the most lovable and best day. It is fun to give people you love and adore gifts. One Valentines day there was an onnonymous person that gave me a whole bunch of stuff. I was probably in Pre-k. It was kind of embarrasing, but nice of that person to do that. There could be many reasons to love and also not to love Valentines day, but I think people should like it even though you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend. Why? Alot of people ask. It is a good way to not only for you to express your feelings, but to show your love to someone special!

Valentines day to me is one of my favorite holidays. A reason why is because it gives you a chance to buy gifts for someone that you like. I am celebrating this holiday by buying a gift for someone and going out to dinner with my family.
ReplyDeleteI don't care about Valentines day becauseit is dumb! My Family and I went out to dinner and I got in trouble by my mom! ALso another bad memory from this year is that my mom only got me socks (which I lost) and some M and M's which my sister taped together and I had to unrap them when I got to school! So that's why I don't like Valentines day

The way that I feel about this holiday is happy!!The way that I celebrate Valentine's day is that I spend time with my family. Ihave many wonderful memories about this day, like when I was little and used to take cards with candy to my classmates. The way that I celebrate this holiday is with my family and with my friends!!:)
ReplyDeleteWhen valentines day comes i'm not excited.My little brothers and sisters are so happy so i just help them get their valentine cards ready.I remember one year i got a lot of valentine cards and i was happy,but i was small so i probably got the same amount of cards as other people.You should try to find the one your most happy with and makes you feel comfortable.

Valentine's Day is very providential, sentimental holiday. I conceit Valentine's Day because everyone can manifest their sentiments about a very special person in a clever way. I had remarkable memories about Valentine's Day in the past and I cherished every second of my experiences. Valentine's Day is special and one of my favorite holidays. Of course, other people have distinct opinions as I do.

When i hear everyone say,"today is valentine's day!",i fell really happy but at the same time really sad.The reason why is because i know that this holiday is to be with that special someone you have in mind.Every year is the same thing with me,eigther the guy i like,doesnt like me,or he's with someone else already.Im just starting to hate it now,last year was so fun but this year,i think its going to be my worst one yet.On the other hand,i love valentine's day,because i get to hang out with my best friends.

I think this holiday is a good holiday because you can exspress how much you care about the person you like. One valitines day for me was awful because we did not have a party. The only thing we did was to eat pizza and talking to our friends it was so boring.
ReplyDeletei don't like valentimes day ,because some of this makes people fell bad about them selfes and who they are . in some point in time i loved this day ,but i just liked it because of the candy and cupcakes .i just dont get why this day is like so inportan to people you can show afection all the other days in the year. you can shjow afection to the ones you love all the time not just in valentimes day.
ReplyDeleteARELY
I think that Valentine Day is a time to be happy and not to fight. This holiday is a day to spent with the people you live. I don't do nothing for Valentine Day my family does not put attention to does type of holidays ,but spmetimes my dad buys something to my mom.
ReplyDeleteWhat I feel about Valentine Day is love and pasion for people that I care about. Valentine's has always been a special day to me. I remember in fourth grade when I got my first kiss from my girlfriend in Valetine's Day. Valentine's is a beautiful day filled with pasion and love. The day is just spending time with the people you care about and love. I've always loved the Day of Valentine. I always tell my family that I love them and care about them. My friends have always been there for me they have celebrated the daywith me. Also, teachers have spent the day with telling I'm a special kid and that I'm very talented. The day is such a beautiful one. I've never hated Valentine's and I'll never will.
ReplyDeleteValentines Day is a way to express your feelings and careness for one another or your family, friends, and love. In my opinion Valentines Day is a great day because you feel so loveable and if you don't have a love, you have friends and families to spend the day with. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't like valentines day, because I don't celebrate it. I hate it and I ignore it because what is the whole point of it?! I dont celebrate it at all,even if they give me something i wont keep it and tell them why. :/
ReplyDeleteHow i feel about Valetines Day is that i love it. Its my favorite holliday because you get to have presents and cards. Also i give my family presents and they will now how much i love them. Valentines day is about love and showing how much you love everyone. The last reason i liki Vamentines day is becuase at school we have partys and we dont have to do school work.
ReplyDeleteValentines day to me is about giving love to friends and family. I will celebrate valentines day by having fun and giving love to my family. I like valentines day because we get to have parties at school.
ReplyDeleteWhat I really enjoy about Valetines Day is seeing everyone around school with smiles on their faces and their hearts filled with love. To middle schoolers valentines day is now more than passing out valentine cards and candy. Its now about expressing a sign of love to your loved one and having a huge party.Valentines day is about having a day to have fun and not doing work.Also people can be themselves and not trying to be cool it's an excuse to act like Pre-Kr's and tell our parents that we love them instead of telling them that we hate him.I don't know why Valentines Day makes a teenager nice,but it does for some reason.
ReplyDeleteAlright sixth graders, I am glad that you are posting and sharing your thoughts, but I am seeing something that makes me really sad!!! Remember how we talked about how our blog is a public place (WWW) where the world is reading our thoughts and judging our abilities? Go back and read some of your posts. What would you think?
ReplyDeleteIf I was to give somebody tactics to find love I would find something old school,but really loving or romantic things like:roses,a bear,a bear with roses,a marshmellow lollipop,lollipop and little things like that.I have noticed that old school is sometimes better than new school,why? Beacause old school things have a lot more meaning and effort than new school valentine gifts.In my expiriences I have noticed that girls like more details than expensive gifts,like, some little gifts are preferd by women or girls because they sense that what you give them have more details they think that you are cute becuse you give them something they might like and not something expesive with dimonds or like flying shoes or expensive things like that they might not use or keep in there memories, insted of waisting you're money in things that you know youre girlfriend might not like or the person that you like might not like what you are giving them. So for me I would go clssic style and give her little things ,but little things that REALLY MEAN A LOT TO HER!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen valentines day comes I really dont really pay attention. It is like if I ignore it and pretend like it's just another day nothing more nothing less. Valentines for me is like a regular day so I don't really care about it because for me it is like any other day of the week. I see how they give gifts to each other but I SEE NO SENSE TO ITTTT......
ReplyDelete..By:G@by!!
I think that Valentine's Day is one of the best holidays in the year.This is a holydy to give something to the person you like and tell him him/her how much you like him/her. I also think this is a good holiday, because I get to go somewhere fun with my family to pass the time together
ReplyDelete.Sergio
Valentine's day is an "okay" holiday. My reason is that why does one day is one of the only days you care,love, or show passion for someone. Also,you can make people feel bad about themselves,because they don't have love in their lives. Memories I have is getting candy,a teddy bear, and a song gram.
ReplyDelete-Isabel
I think this holiday is a cool because you could show your feelings to other people who are special for you ,plus is funny seeing kids getting shy and scared when talking to a girl.
ReplyDeleteRaul Avila!!!
Valentine's day is a way of showing how much you love the people family and friends and to show them your support.When i think about valentines day i always think about those who i love and care for.VALENTINES DAY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE HOLIDAYS EVER!!!!!!!☺☻♥♥♥♥♥
ReplyDelete~Ashley
The way I feel about Valentines Day is that it is a holiday to show the people that you still care about them. I celebrate this holiday by giving gifts and cards to my friends. Also we share and trade things for fun. Valentines Day is a fun day to celebrate love. You can do many things to show love but the best thing to do is just treat the person as nice as possible and they will show there love back to you. Valentines Day always brings me good memorys like nice fancy dinner and expecially a lot of chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI like valentine just because the cakes and cupcakes and the parties.I THINK IT IS A GOOD WAY TO EXPRESS YOUR FEELINGS TO THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE
ReplyDeletevalantines day is a happy hollyday because when you see that special someone you feel like if its just you and them in this planet and you think nothing can ruin that moment but then you see people and that moment is over and you just one one minute alone with that special someone. ive had that feeling before but it leaves for a while because you think they don't like you back.Also you want a quick glance at their brain just to see if they like you or not.You would do anything to see if they like you.And thats what i think about valentines.

For me, Valentines Day is a day of joy, a day where the only thing you do is care for the person you love. The day is full roses,, hearts and candy. The holiday is a symbol of love. It is a great way to express your feelings.
ReplyDelete- Edwin
i like valentines day because you get to show your friends that you love them and i like the parties.Also i like showing my friends i love them with candies and teddy bears.
ReplyDeleteValentine's day is alright. It is not bad, it makes no sense though. People can find love any day, so i don't understand this holiday. People like this holiday, and i like it more than hate it.
ReplyDelete~Jesus
I think Valentine's day is a very great day to be happy and show your feelings on others.Every year on Valentine's day we go out for dinner and by the time we finish we are so full.On Valentine's day we spent most of our time in school because we have party and we put music and work on our Taks Olypics. This year was great because we went out to to one of my favorite Restaurants.
ReplyDeleteValentine's Day is a fun holiday. There's a lot of love in the air. I celebrate this holiday by spending more time with those that I care about. I don't understand why they give you one day for the whole year to do that, though. I do like Valentine's Day, but not the way people are celebrating it these days.
ReplyDelete-Nathalie
Valentine's Day: a holiday that is ment to share love to the person you love. I kinda like Valentine's Day in a way that I spent time with my family. I spend time with the people I care about. It is fun to give people gifts, to share how much you care about them.
ReplyDeleteI think Valentine's Day is a very special holiday that allows you to share or spend time with family, friends,and even the ones you love.I totally love Valentine's Day because you get to express yourself towards some one you care about,some one close to you or even some one you like.VALENTINE'S DAY ROCKS!
ReplyDeleteI really think Valentine's Day, because it"s the time when you can spend time with the people you really love. I love Valentine's Day, because i show my love to my family and they do same to me.
ReplyDeleteI love Valentine's Day because is the day when you can spend time with the people you love. Valentines doesn't have to be about boyfriends or girlfriends, it's really about expressing your love to someone special. My best Valentine's Day ever was when my dad gave me a big teddy bear that was as tall as me (I'm a short person.) i don't understand why some people don't like Valentine's Day, maybe they don't celebrate it or something bad happen to them on that day. There's no reason why anyone should hate it because it's just the day to be with the special person that you love.

ps. 6-1 is falling APART!! :(
I do like Valentine's Day because it's the day were you get to be around with the ones you love like family and friends.I like this holiday because this same day it's my aunt's birthday,I think that's the reason why they called ther Valentina.On one Valentine's Day her head was pulled in her cake.Another reason why I like this holiday is because,I get to be with my parent who love me very much, and not many people have there parents to say that so I feel very happy when they say that,and that I have then to thank for.:-D
ReplyDeleteValentines Day to me is ok because parents give each other gifts like the man gives moms flowers and a lot of love. I honestly don't have memories at all. My strategies are flowers, some chocolate hearted boxes, balloons and cards that say be my Valentine or Happy valentines Day. I will celebrate by giving my family some love and care and buying them some presents.
ReplyDeleteI believe Valentine's Day is a positive idea. It's a time to share love and cherish for the ones you care for.You can give and recieve flowers,chocolates, and balloons. It also, expresses how you feel inside about that person and you want to show that love. Valentine's Day is a wonderful holiday, so full of LOVE :) <3
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion I think Valentine's day is a great holiday. The reason why is because it allows you to spend time with your friends, family,and loved ones.I celebrate Valentine's day by spending time with my family and going out to eat dinner with them.
ReplyDeleteValinitne`s day always gives me a feeling it is going to be a good day.I think Valintine`s day is a day when you can show someone how much you care about them. Valintine`s day is also a day that people give flowers, candy,and so on to the people they care about. It is a day when everybody is happy including the teachers. Hugs and kissess here and there almost everywhere.You also see guys giving little gifts to the women in which they love.
ReplyDelete~esmeralda~
Valentine's day is a wonderful time of year, you can give love and friendship, you can give family your love or demonstrate your family the love you have for them. The best valentine’s day i had have is when i was on pk, we could do our own mail box of cards. This is one of the strategy I will recommend, give a little key to the person, then he or she would wonder for what it is, then you show them a heart with a key hole, the person puts the key into the hole and there is a special valentines card. I would most likely celebrate with my family and friends.
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't hate valentines day ,but I never liked it. I have neverreally had a good or bad valentines day mainly becuase i never really celebrated it .The only thing I doi for valentines day is just sometimes give out cards and candy. Something I would say is a good tip is to be really nice to them ,and maybe give them occasional hugs. This year I probably won't celebrate valentines day.

What i think about Valentines Day is all about happyness of people and love. It should be a calm day for people who actully have feeling for each other. I think a way to find a good Valentines Day person is to ask how they are and complament everything about them. That should at least make that person think that you know what to do on a Valentines day.
ReplyDeleteValentines Day is a great day for love and happines. Expecially now that I have someone to spend it with someone special. Right now Valentines Day is aabout love and care for the people you love and cherrish. In the past Valentine Days I have learn that on Valentines Day if you have someone special in mind get them a special gift. Honestly all I hope for is for everybody to have a great day on Valentines Day. Even if you don't have someone to spend it with you could always celebrate it with your family.
ReplyDelete-Daniel :p :) :D
To me i dont really like valintines day because something always happens to me.I also hate it because i think its dumb bcause your always supposed to tell the person you love i love you, not just on one DAY!!
