Thirteen Reasons I'm Thankful to be a Teacher on Valentine's Day
- It's an excuse to make my kids cupcakes
- A chorus of 25 sweet voices saying, "Thank you!"
- Cards that say inspiring things like, "Girls Rock!" and "You're Purrrfect, Valentine!"
- Getting HUGE boxes of chocolates..that I won't eat
- My principal shows the love too! Krispi Kremes for breakfast!
- Seeing how many shades of pink and red fellow teachers can wear
- Unique presents. This year's winner- a gilded bird cage that is a music box
- Taking an opportunity to tell my kids I love them
- Hearing, "You're the best teacher in the world!" and knowing a cupcake was all it took!
- A stuffed dog that sings, " You Make Me Wanna Shout!" and declares love to me!
- Getting a gift certificate for a free mani or pedi!
- Ah...the conversation hearts. Faves: U GO GIRL, MY BOY, TOO HOT, and MAD 4 U
- Knowing I get to see these sweet kids tomorrow too! Unless it snows.
Here are a few documentary photos.

your first thursday 13...i'm so proud of you! : )
i must confess, i couldn't stick it out for the whole song so i don't know if the valentine dog actually took off in flight like it appeared he might.
see, who needs anything more than students loving and knowing you?!
i mean, that birdcage, really. that shouts, 'erica' like nothing else!!
good post, friend :-)
Wow, what a huge box of chocolates. I'm sure you really are a great teacher, Erica, with or without the cupcakes. :)
I just found you on Carissa's blog and I think we have met before. Anyway, I watched your dancing dog video with my one year old on my lap and he belly laughed though the whole thing.
You've got a winner there, friend.
Hopefully my soon to be fifth grader will have you or Casey next school year. That would be a huge blessing!
Thanks for letting me visit.
