Kaylie looked at the rows of Valentine cards. “I can’t decide.”
Alexis groaned. “I thought you wanted the cute puppies.”
Kaylie shrugged. “What if everyone thinks they’re silly?”
Alexis pointed. “What about the frogs, ducks, kitties, or bears?”
“I need the perfect one,” Kaylie replied.
Alexis grumbled. “Why are you so worried?”
“Everyone likes you but I’m the new girl,” Kaylie frowned.
Alexis hugged her. “Everyone likes you too.”
Kaylie looked at the shelves. “Let’s go home.”
Kaylie thought about Valentine’s Day all week. She worried about not sending
cards and she worried about sending the wrong cards.
Kaylie watched the kids put their cards in the big heart shaped box in her
classroom. She still didn’t know what to do. She looked around and got an
idea.
The next day she got to school early so she could place her special Valentine
cards on everyone’s desk. She had made her own cards. Each one had
something special about the boys and girls in her class.
Alexis shouted. “I love my heart shaped ballerina card.”
Bobby smiled. “This is the coolest baseball card.”
Even her teacher loved her heart shaped apple card.
The kids all exclaimed as they opened their special cards.
Alexis hugged her. “You made the perfect Valentine’s cards.”
