Crush Test, Good Luck!

I sent a letter home to the parents of my fourth graders last week, and at the bottom I put my email address, in case the parents wanted to contact me. Less than a half an hour after school I got an email not from a parent, but from one of my students, just saying hi, yadda yadda. She said she made sure to get my email address from the note before her mom took it.

Awesome.

I'm so glad that I'm now on her forwarding list. This forward was important, so I figured I'd share. Follow it exactly, or you'll die in 12.7 seconds. I'm not joking.

So guess what.... 

This is not your normal chain letter! [honest]
When this girl 1st got it she didn't believe it so she deleted it.

Then the next day her boy friend

DUMPED HER FOR NO REASON AT ALL!!! [not really. it was for excessive forwards]

So she rushed home & she restored it & sent it. [furthering the problem]
Then she & her boyfriend made-up and he's still her

Boyfriend. [i've been doing things all wrong, it seems]

Pretty sure I'd believe that too if I were nine. Also, thanks to me, the rest of your life is now complete. You're welcome.

Valentine's Day through the eyes of a fourth grader.

I could retell the whole story for you, but I don't sleep a lot so I'm attempting to make tonight the night that I attempt to.

Let me sum up the two most important events.

I gave each kid in the class a box of those nasty Sweethearts candies. I mean, I guess some people like them. I do not. But whatever, I gave them those because they're perfect to do fun math or literacy activities with. (I also gave them edible delicious candies too, because I'm the best teacher ever).

So they were using the candy hearts to make comic strips, where they had to implement the phrases on their candy hearts into their comic strip dialogue. One of the boys was using a heart that said "text me," but for his comic, he had a box with a boy and a girl in it, and the boy with a speech bubble saying "Don't text me, hobo."

I laughed so much.

Event number two. One of the girls in my class drew me a picture with my name and lots of hearts, complete with phrases like "You rock!" etc. On the back, she taped on a child's sized plastic green bracelet and wrote under it, "This is for you since you love green. ps. Keep it forever please? But if you stop liking green I guess you can throw it away." Followed by "Green rocks just like you!! Ha ha you love green." Haha, yooou caught me. Yes, yes I do.


They're hilarious and they don't even know it. I love it.

"Think of something that makes you smile."

I love the sayings on the wrappers of Dove chocolates.

I hate that I equally love what's inside of those wrappers.
