On Day 1 of Kiss-o-Grams, a message was sent to a student in my class from "Anonymous". It's been tearing this girl apart trying to figure out who it is. She has been asking on a daily basis for hints, but I refuse to tell. If the boy wants her to know, he can tell her. I refuse to spill the secret. I also refuse to give any clues as to the person's identity.
On his side of things, he came to me today and asked for my "love" advice.
Richard: "Ms. L, I don't know what to do about this whole Claire thing."
Me: "Well, you can either tell her that you sent it because you're a good friend or you can just leave it as a secret."
Richard: "I don't know what to do."
Me: "You're going to have to make this decision by yourself."

Happy Valentine's Day!
It was the day I've been dreading for a week or so now. It was one of the day's allowed by the state for us to celebrate with all the sweets we could ever dream of. My class celebrated with ice cream sundaes and cupcakes that I made. Before the party could ever begin, we also had to take care of the last day of our 4th grade fundraiser.
It was Day 5 of Kiss-o-Gram sales. We ran out of kisses yesterday after we finished selling for the day and again today about 1 hour into sales. A parent had to run to the store and get more, and it turned out to be the perfect amount. Last year it amazed me, and again this year I was amazed. The funds raised were ridiculous! How we made so much money on Hershey kisses being sold for 10 cents each is amazing. We had kids buying $20 worth of kisses. I wanted to inform those kids that they could go to the store and buy multiple bags for $20, on the other hand, we wanted them to spend however much they wanted on kisses. Every grade level is jealous of how much money we make with this fundraiser, which is why we will never pass this one to another grade level, regardless of how crazy it can get throughout the week.
The ice cream party went well and I didn't realize how much kids like sprinkles. When I eat a sundae, I'm concerned about having whip cream and a cherry. These kids wanted ice cream, whip cream and tons of sprinkles. They all enjoyed the sundaes and got their sugar fills. This was also a fairly easy party seeing as that there weren't that many choices and it was easy to clean up. I'll definitely continue this party idea next Valentine's.
