For example, in Japan, gifts - usually chocolate - are only given by the woman and there are two types of chocolate gifts - those of 'obligation' (given to bosses, father-in-laws, etc.) and those of 'true love' (given to boyfriends and spouses).  In Italy and Britain, it was believed that the first man an unmarried woman were to see on Valentine's Day (or a man that looks like him) would marry her within a year so it became tradition for unmarried women to be awakened before sunrise on February 14th in order to stand at their window and watch the men pass by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eValentine's Day Door Display\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackground:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow bulletin board paper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The Many Languages of Love\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBorder:\u003c\/strong\u003eRed sparkle glitter bulletin board trimmer or Valentine's Day themed border.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1) The Three-Dimensional Heart. Cut a large heart from red background paper. Line the edge of one side of the heart with a thin line of glue, attach it to the door, and hold. You might consider adding a few staples for added stability. Crumble pieces of recycled newspaper or purchase quilt\/comforter batting from your local craft store, using it to stuff the heart cutout, then glue\/staple the other side of the heart to the door display. The staples can then be covered by outlining the heart with red glitter. 2) The Conversation Hearts. Create a card stock template using it to trace and cut conversation hearts from various colors of construction paper. Use markers to script common candy phrases onto the hearts (i.e. \"Be Mine\", \"You're Cool\", \"Love\", etc.). Use an online translator to translate the phrases into several foreign languages and script these onto heart cutouts as well. The matches should be placed side by side on the board. [NOTE: You might also make this an interactive door display by mixing up the phrases and translations and inviting your students guess which go together as well as which language is presented!] 3) The Details. Create smaller heart cutouts (both solid and outline) in Valentine's day colors - red, pink, and white - to decorate any open spaces and accent the candy hearts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThanks for stopping by!

Super simple and fun to do, all you'll need are heart doilies, pink and white craft paper, low tack glue sticks, some craft paint in Valentine's Day shades, and small foam roller paint brushes. To begin the craft, invite students to place small dabs of glue onto the doily and lightly press it to the construction paper. Next, have students use the brushes to roll on some paint and finish by peeling off the doilies. Invite students to cut out their heart prints or attach the entire sheet of paper to a piece of construction paper (in Valentine's Day colors of course!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eOur Class is All Heart Display\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackground:\u003c\/strong\u003e White or light pink background paper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Our Class is All Heart!\" - The designer reinforced the heart theme by displaying the title on a giant red heart cutout, but you could also find other creative ways to display it as well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBorder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid red and black wavy borders were used to create a layered effect.

Find a fun Valentine's Day bag at your local grocery store. Allowing the bag to stay \"folded\", attach the side with the bottom flap to the bulletin board. Stuff a few pieces of tissue paper in the bag opening and add some festive curled ribbon to complete the package. 2) The Candy Hearts. Create a heart template from card stock using it to trace and cut heart shapes from various colors of construction paper or find a black and white clip art image online (or through your word processing software) that can be used to print hearts directly onto the construction paper. Like traditional conversation hearts, use a stencil or marker to script student names onto each cutout. Arrange a few of the hearts at the top of the bag and the rest around it as if they've \"spilled\" from their festive wrapping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe think that this bulletin board would be a \"sweet\" addition to any classroom during the Valentine's holiday.
