Valentine's Day
I should start by saying Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Today I had to substitute teach during one of my resource times for a third grade class. The teacher left me with the joy of monitoring their Valentine's day party. Fun Stuff.
After I took this picture I started to think about what I would write about. Sure I could comment on how commercialized holidays have become but that seems to easy and completely misses the point of what beauty I did witness today.
I had the unfortunate fortune to sub for a class during their Valentine's Day party. I'm all for celebrating but knowingly going into a sugar filled third grade room is not exactly an opportunity I rush toward. What I found beautiful was that even though many of these kids had never had me in class before several students wanted to make sure I felt included. Walking in I had never expected to receive valentines. I found those little gestures to be heartwarming and sweet. The kids ended up not only sharing their candy but also their kindness.
