Robin Hughes, 60, is a special education teacher at SouthShore Charter Academy in Riverview, Florida. She was reading a book about snow when she noticed that some of the children looked _________.

When she asked how many of them had_________snow before, only two of them raised their hands. Hughes, who grew up in Louisa, Kentucky, was shocked. “It’s hard for kids to _________the concept because they don’t have the relevant knowledge.”

_________to show her students snow for the first time, Hughes reached out to her sister, Amber Estes, who lives in Danville, Kentucky. She asked her to make a snowman and_________ it overnight to her, but Estes didn’t think it would be possible.

“I said to her, ‘We haven’t had a considerable amount of snow.’ I was making every excuse in the world,” Estes told The Washington Post. “In the end, I accepted the _________hesitantly because I knew that I would never have to live up to it anyway.”

But in January, after Danville was_________with 10 inches of snow, Estes went into her backyard and made a snowman, _________with blueberry eyes, a carrot nose, and sticks for arms.

She then packed it into a container filled with _________ packs and sealed the box__________ . It cost $78 to overnight the snowman to her sister’s __________ through the U. S. Postal Service. Estes named the snowman “Lucky” in the hope that he’d make the 800-mile journey to Florida without__________.

So Hughes’ students met Lucky__________. The kindergartners__________gathered around the box to look at the snowman, and some couldn’t resist__________ him.

“I’m going to tell you a story,” I tell my class of high school seniors. “It’s a tale about love. And heart-break. And embarrassment.”

Their eyes widen. I_________my throat. “In eleventh grade,” I begin, “I fell madly in love. Her name was Lewis, who I found_________. Unfortunately she had no interest in me. It was Valentine’s Day when I spilled my Valentine cards onto my desk, and I saw an enormous one, decorated beautifully. My mind_________: ‘Who could it be from?’ With trembling hands, I_________open the envelope and out fell an image of a king, the heading of which_________ ‘To a King of a Valentine.’”

I give the class a_________look. “I saw the signature and almost fainted: Lewis. Then my eyes_________up to the writing above her signature which read, ‘To the Ugliest Boy in Our Class.”

“Well, it ruined Valentine’s Day for me. It shook what little_________I had in myself for a long time after. But I_________. Accidentally, I found out who did this trick. It was not her. Now I refuse to give up this holiday of love.” I smile. “And that’s why we’re going to have a party to celebrate__________instead of rudeness”

Their eyes__________. They are willing to let me take them__________I am going. I hand out some paper so they can make cards. “Now please write something positive and sincere to everyone in the class. Even if it’s someone you__________know, there’s always something nice to say.”

All these years, I’ve made it a__________in each of my class. After 20 years of teaching, I don’t think students will remember all of the grammar or vocabulary I taught them. But if all a student__________of one of my classes are the valentines they received one long ago February, to me that makes it all worthwhile.
