Happy Valentine's Day!

Yes I do realize that Valentine's day was last week but I still want to blog about it because it was such a grand day. That day at school, and that week as a whole, is where I really felt like I was a part of the community there both faculty and student wise and I was no longer just the new girl. Within this day, I woke up to a Valentine's day breakfast (pink pancakes!) as well as a Valentine's day gift from the family that is so kindly hosting me as I student teach. Then at school! Some kids came around with cupcakes so I ate one of those; another student gave me a chocolate kiss; a different student gave me a gift filled with chocolate; and last but definitely not least, I had a student write me the most wonderful Valentine (it read I love you Mrs. Huggleston (I'll take it) and I mean it. Love, student. Love not only was in the air for those hormonal middle schoolers but also for their teachers that teach them every day. Here is are two pictures of my gifts from Valentine's day.
