Belated Valentine's Day

I'm happy to study that I am feeling much, much better!  I'm finally over the tummy põrnikas that's been going roughly town, in addition to it is corking to last dorsum alongside the living!  The solely skillful affair that came out of beingness sick was that I was able to read 4 books.  My sis is however ahead past times nine books for the year, but I haven't given upwardly promise yet.

We were out of schoolhouse Mon for President's Day, in addition to thence yesterday was my get-go twenty-four hours with my kiddos since finally Thursday.  I loathe missing work, in addition to it seems similar my students hated the fact that I missed schoolhouse on Friday.  Okay.  Maybe it wasn't that they missed me.  But, because I wasn't there, my students had an interesting experience with the substitute teacher.

Students eagerly greeted me in addition to couldn't hold off to tell me the even of the terrible things they had to acquire through on Valentine's Day.

Student: Ms. Hagan!  Ms. Hagan!  Ms. Hagan!  I'm in addition to thence glad you're hither today.  You'll never approximate what the sub did on Friday.
Me: I don't know.  What did he do?
Student: He gave us the talk.
Me: The talk?
Student: You know.  The birds in addition to the bees talk.
Me: The substitute did WHAT?!?!?

Once I heard the entire story, I wasn't quite every bit alarmed.  I'm however non quite certain why this was fifty-fifty a theme of discussion, but the substitute made a quest of telling i of my classes that they needed to do abstinence until marriage.  And, from what I was told, it wasn't a unmarried remark.  He kept going on in addition to on in addition to on well-nigh how corking things were going to last for my students if they saved themselves for marriage.  I concur with him wholeheartedly, but I'm non certain if this was the proper setting for the conversation.  The things that hap when you're gone...    

In my mailbox, I was surprised to discovery a Valentine's Day gift.  Our FCCLA sells "crushes" every bit a fundraiser.  Students tin ship candy, a Crush pop, and/or a stuffed brute to anybody inwards the schoolhouse for a pocket-sized fee.

 I wasn't expecting this, in addition to thence I straight off began to depository fiscal establishment tally out the attached depository fiscal establishment complaint to meet who it was from.

From: "Your Secret Lover"

To: Mrs. Hagan
From: Your Secret Lover

My Secret Lover?  Really?  Then, to acquire inwards somewhat to a greater extent than in addition to less mysterious at the same time, the bottom of the bill of fare read, "We dearest you."  

I knew it must last from some students, but I couldn't figure out who.  Luckily, it didn't direct maintain long for i of them to fall the beans in addition to inquire me if I liked they in addition to some other pupil had gotten me.

Document Camera Pet

This lilliputian guy doesn't direct maintain a call yet, but he's flora a novel abode on my document camera.

I wished my students a belated Valentine's Day.  And, I had to explicate what belated meant agency to a greater extent than times than I expected.  Why did you lot telephone retrieve it belated?  Why didn't you lot but tell Happy Late Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Wish


I passed out my Valentine's that I made for my students.

Mathematical Valentines

I flora the bill of fare online via Pinterest.  You tin download your ain re-create of the bill of fare at love2learn2day.  I downsized them to last closer to the size of a typical valentine.  Thanks to my newspaper chopper, I was able to lay these cards together for my students inwards a relatively curt amount of time.

Cutting Out Valentines

I taped on the Pixy Sticks, in addition to the cards were laid to manus out to my students.  I had to acquire to 3 dissimilar stores to purchase Pixy Sticks.  First, I went to my local Wal-Mart.  No Pixy Sticks.  I decided that must last because I alive inwards the middle of nowhere.  So, I went to some other Wal-Mart.  Again, no Pixy Sticks.  Finally, I flora them at Dollar General.  I approximate Pixy Sticks aren't every bit pop every bit they i time were...  


The most mutual response?  "Oh my goodness!  Ms. Hagan, you lot would give us a mathematical valentine!"  Quite a few laughed.  

Another pop response: "Will I acquire my telephone taken away if I acquire it out to direct maintain a motion-picture demo of this?"

Most were but excited well-nigh the candy.

We're non going to utter well-nigh how i of my students decided to snort a pixy stick today during class.  I think he learned his lesson.  He ran out of class, almost crying.  When he did provide from the bathroom, he was inwards in addition to thence much hurting that he could barely focus on the day's lesson.

One of my eighth graders surprised me with chocolate.  It turned out to last a real skillful day!
