Happy Valentine's Day!

One of the activities I do with the first graders at school each year near Valentine's Day is to make a heart shaped book with different elaboration sentences for their parents as a gift.
I give them this sentence to fill in the blanks to:
I love you as much as a ______ loves _______.
They each had to think of 4 different sentences. This class did a really good job and I wanted to share some of their responses. I'll leave off the beginning so just remember that they all start with
I love you as much as a
seed loves to grow.
car loves to honk.
bird loves to lay eggs.
butterfly loves nectar.
frog loves to hop.
cheetah loves to run.
lake loves it's fish.
moon loves night.
sea loves to splash.
sun loves to shine.
penguin loves to waddle.
kite loves to fly.
bear loves to climb.
monkey loves bananas.
rat loves cheese.
dog loves to bark.
fox loves to live in the forest.
groundhog loves to sleep.
spider loves to bite.

Those are too cute. I remember I used to love Valentine's day in school when you got valentine's from everybody in those paper sack mailboxes. Why do we stop doing that when we get older??

So cute! That's a great idea for a card. I may have to steal that one...
