On a day when some things seemed hard or went wrong, I still count these blessings.
- noticing how far the sun has moved north as it peeks over the horizon
- a gold and orange sunrise
- leaving early
- bus supervision with the grade 6's
- Safety Patrols
- seeing an old acquaintance and catching up on some news
- enthusiasm during phys ed class
- time to work one on one with a student for story writing
- coffee + hot chocolate + white chocolate coffee creamer
- quiet students, on task
- finishing a task just as the bell rings
- enchilada casserole, even better the next day
- celery sticks
- students who can stay on task even when chaos is reigning
- supportive colleagues
- apologies
- computer-based research projects
- support from the office
- colored pens
- photocopiers
- sending mail
- new stickers
- Creating Keepsakes magazine in the mailbox
- an after school nap
- mango rooiboos tea
- clean clothes
- pondering behaviours that went awry
- prayer - lots of it!
- knowing that I did the 'right' thing
- the end of the day
great list! i always enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteI saw your note to Jill and popped over to say hello to a fellow Canadian and teacher :) I'm retired now but I appreciate that gratitude list! Students on task and an after school nap were favourites :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a full day. Isn't it wonderful to wake up with the sunrise instead of before it? ;)
