This whole pandemic really ruined things for my classroom IMO. I remember my last real in-person Halloween, Christmas, etc. I'd make these little gifts for my students that they could trade, etc. Now I can't really do that. Since Wednesday was my last in-person day with my B group, (just like A group) I gave them all valentines candy (a small box of candy hearts) as a gift. Valentines Day can be so painful for middle schoolers who feel left out, etc. I make sure those kiddos feel special, we'd do history-related trivia on love and stuff, where prizes and stuff would be given out and traded. I can't do that anymore because of COVID. It just sucks oh so badly.
