I Love You!

At school on Thursday I was helping a few of my kindergarten students finish their Valentine cards. I was at the table supervising the cutting and writing of their Valentine wishes and giving directions when needed.

Then it happened. The small girl sitting next to me stopped her work and touched me on the arm. When I asked what she needed she replied, "Teacher, I love you!"

I looked at her and told her that I loved her.

She looked at me again and said, "My mother loves you!"

I said, "Oh!! That's nice!?!?"

"Teacher!" the girl said a few moments later. By now I am wondering what to expect. "Teacher! My dad doesn't love you!"

OH!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day The New Green Way

Chris gave me my Valentine's Day gift yesterday evening. I was surprised because earlier she told me that I didn't have to get her anything. She said she hadn't got me anything. Okay. That was fine, I don't really need anything anyway. Back to the story; Chris came in the bedroom last night and announced that she had my present. She gave me a decorative sack with a few small items in it. I looked in it and found a card, 2 small stuffed animals, a small toy, and a bag of sugar-free candy. She told me the card only cost 50 cents and that I could use it too if I wanted to.

A few moments later I gave Chris her Valentine's Day gift. She was as surprised as I was earlier because I had told her earlier that I wasn't going to spend anything for her gift. I gave her a decorative sack with a few small items in it. She looked in it and found a card, 2 small stuffed animals, and a small toy. I kept the sugar-free candy for myself. Chris doesn't like sugar-free candy.

I recycled the card she gave me. We went green for Valentine's this year.

Later, I was looking in one of my tree catalogues. I found a pine tree I liked. I also found an apple tree that looked pretty good. Never found the pineapple tree though.
