Happy Valentine's Day!

From the minute I walked in the door, I could feel the love in the room! I have never been greeted with such big hugs, smiling faces, chocolates, cards and candies. I am SUCH a lucky teacher!! But lucky for my class, I had some surprises in store for them too :)

Waiting for each of them, on their desks, were boxes of Sweetheart Candy Conversation Hearts. YUM! The only catch was that they weren't allowed to eat them until they picked their TOP 10 favorite sayings, put them in alphabetical order, and then write a story that included those sayings. Hee hee. Treats always taste better when you have to work for them!

After lunch, Mrs. Nicely and Mrs. Herbert joined us for our valentine exchange. The students enjoyed decorated their own mailboxes and stuffing them full of love. They were also excited to hand deliver letters that they had written to their "secret" people. *During the week prior to Valentine's Day, students had drawn names out of a hat to see who they would write a letter to. All letters needed to include a compliment, a question and a story. This writing tied into the letter format of our story that week, "Dear Mr. Blueberry".

All in all, it was a day where everyone had fun and left feeling loved!

Happy Valentine's Day From Eliza & Ann Catherine!
