Valentine's Prep.

I made these letters for my family.  Each choice pertained to a certain Valentine's activity.  (Dinner, dessert, movie, Valentine's coupons...etc.)

We also made a heart chain (like this one) to count-down to Valentine's.  Some of the links had activities on them.  We didn't get to do all of them, but the ones we did were so much fun.

CLASS VALENTINES

Easton and I had a lovely time creating his homemade Valentine's.  The day before we made Valentine's for our extended families and sent them off in the mail. (Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture).

When Easton brought home his classroom Valentine's, he spent much of the afternoon reading each one, and sorting his candy and cards and stickers and pencils.

Earlier this week I had the chance to do a room party for his 100th day of school.  It was amazing to be back in the classroom and I felt like I was back in my element.  I miss teaching school.  Very much.

And Easton was a little gem.  I've wondered how he behaves in school, and it was fun to watch him from a distance and see his daily interactions with his friends.  He has learned and grown and matured so much this year, I can hardly believe it.  I miss him like crazy, but I know that sending him to school  this year was the right decision for us.  It's been a wonderful journey.
