About this valentines day word search
- The holiday is named for Saint Valentine, an early Christian martyr; its link to romantic love shows up much later, in medieval poetry such as Geoffrey Chaucer's.
- Esther Howland of Worcester, Massachusetts, is often called the Mother of the American Valentine for the lace-trimmed cards she began selling in the late 1840s.
- Classroom tip: slip a printed puzzle into each student's card box as a candy-free valentine, and use the easy version for kindergarten through second grade.
