San Valentin

Aunque hay algunas personas reticentes a celebrar esta fecha siempre se puede aprovechar para aprender algo en la escuela. Aquí van unos ejemplos:

-Un poco de inglés para los más pequeños: el primero es una historia muy sencilla para aprender los colores y la segunda una canción relacionada.

- También Snoopy celebra San Valentín:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

- Y los Muppets

- También podemos enviar postales a las personas que queremos. En algunos países también se celebra, no sólo el día de los enamorados, sino también el día de la amistad. Aquí van algunos ejemplos de poemas en inglés para escribir en nuestras tarjetas:

My valentine, sweet valentine,
I'm thinking of you today;
And so I send this little card,
To brighten up your day.

My valentine, sweet valentine,
You mean everything to me;
Dear valentine, say you'll be mine,
And happy I will be!

I want to send my dearest friend
A special valentine,
With X's, O's, and hearts and bows,
So she'll know that she's mine.
And 'way up in the corner, too,
I'll draw a little dove,
Then underneath, this message sweet,
"To Mom, with all my love!"

Among the winter's chilly days
Comes one in February,
When young and old send valentines
To make each other merry;

I'll send my friends a valentine,
A pretty one to Mother,
I'll send one to my teacher, too,
And maybe one to Brother!

When Valentine's Day comes around,
I'll run right out to see-eee,
If any one of you has left
A valentine for me!

Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet, but not as sweet as you
Roses are red and
Violets are blue.  

 

 ¡Feliz San Valentín a todos!
