But what made today extra special was delivering one Valentine to a child who lives a few miles from me. Daughter #1 and I delivered the basket and 50 hand made Valentine cards...it was fun to see his smile when he opened the door.
I also delivered class Valentines to a student home with strep throat and another student who was just released from the hospital with a ruptured appendix! I was so sad to learn of this, especially since I did not find out until last night! Her mother called the school absence hotline Saturday but I failed to get the message until her mother emailed me last night. So today I brought her bag of Valentines and a giant heart poster that the students colored and signed.
Today was also an extra special day as I decided at the beginning of the school year that I was changing my birthday to February 14. I celebrated with my class and did my usual- guess my age using the number line....the first guess was 18! It made sense as my real birthday falls during conferences and Open House and Teacher Appreciation Day. It bothers me to take time out of class to have treats for my birthday on a regular day so today worked out fine. We had home made chocolate chip cookies from my room mom and it didn't take up any extra time....except we had 4 birthday this week!
The sun came out today and the temperature climbed above 60 degrees...I wore shorts to work although it was a chilly 42 degrees when I walked to work in the morning. I am looking forward to a warm weekend!
