A Teacher's Desk on Valentine's Day

Happy late Valentine's Day!
How did you celebrate???

I am beyond blessed to have 13 Valentines, 2 extra special Valentine's and many more Valentine's!

My two extra special Valentine's, also known as mom and dad, sent me a singing gram to the song "God gave me you!" and boy did I tear up, at the first line of the song....click here to listen! Now this music video was originally written for a couple but I think it works for a family too!! A fourth grader with a beautiful voice shared this lovely song!

My 13 students truly made the day special! It was full of gifts, precious notes, singing grams, bingo, laughter, excitement, and of course lots of candy and chocolate!

One of my kids won bingo and yelled so loud you woulda thought he just won a million dollars! It's the simple things in life!!

I praise the Lord for making my day so special! He truly does LOVE His children!! This was definitely a Valentine's to remember!

Wish I could post pictures

Whew! What a week/weekend! God has been so good to me and I am lovin' opportunities to serve and live life with others!

I am learning that sometimes, when God takes away people in your life and ties your hands in the sense that no matter how hard you try you know and realize that waiting and trusting God is your only option, new joys arise in the waiting.....

This week was a roller coaster! We had our first field trip (I'm a newbie teacher.) to EdVenture and it was great! The kids didn't want to leave! We learned about 'Magnificent Magnets' and exploring the life-sized Eddie was probably the highlight of our trip! What great memories!

Fun Friday was full of pizza and of course fun in the indoor playground and some visitors/shadows to the school!

Friday night my sweet friends, the Eastman's, stopped by for a visit! They have recently been in Africa for some missionary training. They will be home for 6 months. On the way to visit family they stopped by and we enjoyed dinner at Groucho's and Scrabble! I don't get too many visitors right now in good ol' Columbia so it was a special treat!

After they headed out, Aubrey and I headed over to the new NCA campus to help paint a playroom! Orange and black reminded me of a tiger!

Ran home and wrapped up some baby gifts for Mrs. Longpre and precious Ashleigh who is on the way!

Picked up pizza on the way home and ended the night with some Firefly and an early bedtime (I'm still workin' on staying up late ;) )

Superbowl Sunday fun tonight and throw in some grading papers...I still need to make that Roller Coaster display, hmmmm..... and

I do believe that's wrap!

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.-Colossians 3:17 (it's become our class verse I think!)
