bloggers celebrate at Ruth Ayres Writes.
Won't you join us?
Some days it's not easy to write this post...today is not one of those days! I feel full of joy and celebration today.
I celebrate an amazing week with students who are funny, hard working, silly, creative, and wonderful! This week they took two state tests. We continue to prepare for our poetry celebration in June, PoetPalooza, by writing & revising & rehearsing original poetry. I continue to be amazed by the stories that sixth graders have to tell...they are full of joy, wisdom, pain, and hope!
I celebrate learning!
We begin Literacy Journey, our graduate course, with an introductory meeting in May. This is the fourth year that I'm facilitating. I celebrate the energy and enthusiasm that teachers brought to that meeting...in May, during state testing, after a full day of school! They engaged in thoughtful conversations and I'm so excited to work with these teachers next year!
Bella is cause for much celebration!
We visited the dog park last week and she seems to be bonding to me. She climbs up into bed with me and she cuddles more. I'm so grateful to have found her. She's perfect for me!
I celebrate love.
A dear friend of mine is getting married today. She started out just as my neighbor and now I think of her like a sister. She's found a kind, wonderful, loving man to marry. I'm overjoyed for them as they begin this new journey in life together! I'm grateful to be part of their celebration and I celebrate their love!!
Wishing you many celebrations this week!
