I absolutely loved getting to celebrate Valentine's Day with my third grade students and feeling of their excitement for what the day is really about. It was really incredible for me to be a small part during this exciting time in their lives and it only lasts for such a short period of time, before it's all over. I enjoyed getting to help out with one of the many activities that were going on for the rest of their school day and being a part of it is something I'll cherish forever. I truly loved getting to play this game called "Headbands" which is basically where the kids had to wear this plastic headband thing with a card on it that says what they are, but all of them asked me various questions that were specifically related back to what was on their card.
I really enjoyed getting to see them interact with each other which is something I'm almost too busy to watch because I have so much going on, but I will admit that yesterday was nothing short of awesome!!! It was so much fun seeing them pass out valentine's to each other just warmed my heart in such a way, that I don't even have the words in my mind to describe what was that really like. I definitely saw the biggest smiles on their faces and just making each other so happy for me was such a delight to see from a distance. I loved every valentine that I probably didn't necessarily deserve from the people who gave them to me, but it really almost brought me to tears because I would have never expected anything more or less than making the day successful for everyone involved.

I have absolutely volunteering in my favorite blonde's third grade class more than anything in this world & getting to know them better this year has been nothing short of indescribable. I can't thank them nearly enough times for their patience, kindness, friendship, example and the wonderful person they are in my life. Thank you so much for letting me help out with the activities yesterday & giving me an experience that I know will forever hold a soft spot in my heart.
