Saturday Celebration
Slice of Life Challenge
Please join the challenge over at Two Writing Teachers!
Celebrations from this past week...
Sunday: A day spent nurturing myself...cooking, writing, cleaning, grading...I love Sundays when I'm prepared for the week ahead!
Monday: Came home after a long day and painted. I'm loving painting. It's like therapy and writing and relaxing all rolled up into one...I haven't even completed an entire canvas yet...
Tuesday: Amazing book/student match today...the right book found the right student at the right time. She refuses to stop reading and repeatedly declares, "This is the best book ever!"
Wednesday: Productive training where I became inspired to create an interesting and unusual poetry unit for fourth quarter! Still working on it...details to come.
Thursday: ZONE day...a day spent reading and celebrating my readers. I always love this day and my students love ZONE day too.
Friday: Surprised with dinner plans! Enjoyed time catching up and chatting with an adorable and rambunctious three year old. Time spent with friends is good for the soul.
Saturday: Off to an amazing conference, Language and Learning 2014 to listen to talented Northern Virginia teachers share their expertise in writing AND the great and amazing Penny Kittle! YAY!!
