Yesterday, I received my first Valentine from a student. She came into my classroom before school and said "Mrs. Peaden, this is for you. Happy Valentines Day." I nearly melted all over the floor. It made my entire week. Then later, when I was in class another student came up to me and slipped me a heart shaped piece of chocolate, wishing me a very happy Valentines Day.
I have decided that I love 8th graders. They are old enough to be treated like grown-ups, but young enough to still bring Valentines for their teachers.
I love being a teacher, and am so grateful for these two students who did something so small that means SO much to me.
