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.
