If you're looking for a way to bring a little love into your classroom without an overt "Valentine" theme, here are some of my favorite art lessons. In elementary school, chances are students will be slipping all kinds of heart shaped drawings into their work, whether you ask for it or not.

While the following lessons were not originally intended to be Valentine themed, I think they would lend themselves really well.
