Early Valentine's Day!

I love Valentine's Day! All the pink, hearts, and chocolate, what's not to love??

Being a teacher on Valentine's Day is the best. I can't wait to celebrate with my kids on Tuesday. I'm sure I will be blogging about it next week. But I wanted to quickly share a gift I received today. This is from one of the most shy girls in my class. She is very quiet and reserved. Her home life is not the greatest and she's often very sad. However, she is a wonderful student and very talented at writing poetry. I'm always telling her how much I love her poems, so in return she writes me them all the time. She even made a folder for me to keep them all in!

This morning she brought me this. It made me cry. I will keep it forever. Such a great way to start the Valentine's celebration!

Roses are red
Violets are blue, 
You love me and I love you too. 

You're the best teacher so far,
I wish 3rd grade would never end. 
I will never forget you when it does. 

Now look in the mirror in the heart
and you will see someone very important to me.
