hilarious day in the classroom.
funny valentines placed in a basket then everyone closes their eyes and chooses one to read dramatically.
i let them eat candy.
we watched 12 minutes of the sound of music.
someone said, “maria is just like me always getting in trouble!”
here, dear readers, are some valentines for YOU.
in case you didn’t get one!
yesterday we made freestyle valentine envelopes.
life is good in chinatown. yes it is.
happy valentines. sending you some pink heart-shaped smoke signals tonight.

This pushing sixty year old wants to know where such kitty stickers might be found …
Vicki in Michigan says
Thanks for the chuckles. Some of them really got into this assignment. Tater tots and chocolate hearts….. 🙂
Karen Goetz says
Dying! Esp. “Get me tater tots” “your hair is like shreaded money”, and “Now let’s go to the store and get a mask for your face”. Bwahahaha! Those are seriously cute!
That was the best part of my day today. Thanks Mary Ann, and art monkeys!
Loretta Marvel says
Cannot love these more! YOU ROCK!
Mary Ann Moss says

i hit the JACKPOT!
Jane B. says
These are so hilarious, and so brilliant – it truly gives me hope for the future – they are so lucky to be studying with a teacher who works from the heart.
Marylinn Kelly says
They had me at “your hair is like shredded money.” Yes, I think I’m also in love with your class and their teacher. As long as the lamps remain lit and noses resemble candy or fruit we will be okay. xo
Lynne Dove says
Spicy juices in the grass with chocolate eyeballs. Seem to remember that in the 70’s. Just love the gentle fun of this. The planet needs teachers like you. X
Michele says
Thanks for sharing. So dang cute and funny. 💕💕💕
Carol K says
Oh my, what delight! Let’s enjoy our life and go to Paris to buy a hippo! Why ever not??
Caroline says
I think that I am in love with your class and their teacher. 💕
Leslie Marsh says
Oh, how wonderful these are. Your students are so lucky to have you as their teacher. Now, I must go buy a mask for my face. Ha ha ha.
Holly Hudson says
this would make a wonderful book or booklet for each child on the last day of school
Pauline Clark says

Diane says
Sooooo sweet! Many references to food, mostly sweets but what a clever group
Anne says
“I’ll say I do and that shall do.” Oh if it were only that easy and true! I hope that it will be for that little writer. Thanks for sharing – way much more fun than “how to cook a turkey”!!!
erika nelson says

Kate says
You are doing good things with these kids if they have this kind of imagination- awesome!
Michele Unger says
“Your eyes are like 2 chocolate truffles….”
“Your mouth is like a croissant….”
“Let’s go to the donut store and buy their kitchen.”
This child may very will be the 2042 lead food writer for the NY Times!
Thanks for the Valentines. I love every one of them and had such fun reading them out loud, dramatically. Wish I had been a fly on the wall in your classroom today to have enjoyed the children’s reading. This was almost as good.
Happy, happy hearts and flowers day to you, dear Mary Ann.
XO
Pat P says
I’m a little concerned. I think you might need to see a doctor, especially after reading your nose is like a watermelon.
Priceless. Thanks for sharing!
Mary says
Thank you so much for sharing the Valentines! I swear some made me laugh out loud. Those are wonderful, sweet treasures, I loved every one.
Sharron says
Terrific valentines smiles, nothing like the poetic imagination of Littles! xox
