Celebrating This Week!
This has been a whirlwind of a week! There's so much to celebrate. Thank you Ruth for providing inspiration to celebrate weekly!
Monday was the National Day on Writing! We wrote like crazy in school this week! I wore my special writing shoes for inspiration...

On Tuesday, for no special reason one of my students gave me this. An origami Bella....
These thoughtful & creative gifts from students always warm my heart and make me smile!
Wednesday was the one year anniversary of my blog. It was a long day in school and when I arrived home, I was exhausted! I opened the front door and look what arrived...
I ordered this a long time ago from Erin Condren (or so it felt) and it arrived on the perfect day. LOOK what's inside! A new notebook and some other goodies...I think I'll use this for my NCTE notebook!
Thursday, I just needed comfort food. Look what I made for lunch. Who knew that a bologna & cheese sandwich could make me so happy?!?!
Reminds me of my childhood!
Friday was spent revising slices of life, so again, I needed to dress accordingly...
Little surprises bring me such joy...like this one...I have never owned or enjoyed using mechanical pencils! The other day, a student loaned one to me and I stopped and admired it. It was Ticonderoga. We chatted about it for a few seconds. On Friday, she said, "I told my mom you liked these and we got some for you." I was speechless. So thoughtful!!!! In that same class, another student noticed I needed more markers, so he gave me a coupon he found.
The night sky on Friday took my breath away...
What are you celebrating this week?
What a great writing week! I have to admit, I'm more jealous than I should be of those shoes!

I love these celebrations! Your students love you so. Bestowing gifts must be their love language. :-) Beautiful night sky pics, and you know I love that Slice of Life tee!!
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes! And what a week of gifts! I am going to have check out those Ticonderoga mechanical pencils. I LOVE the wooden ones - the only ones that seem to work in electric pencil sharpeners! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love all the pictures, the swag bag of goodies is great, Michelle, and the sky pics-amazing. I want to tell you that your students' thoughtfulness must also reflect you, the thoughtful teacher. Love that origami Bella, the pencils, the coupon! Have another wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteA bright and joyful post! Happy writing!
ReplyDeleteEvery bit of your post makes me want go shopping for writing tools. (Something I think my students would benefit from too - excuse?) Your creativity flows to and from your students. Infectious in a very good way!
ReplyDeleteAll of this makes me smile but I especially love that your student (and Mom) bought you the pencils. Such a kind gesture.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, another great post full of energy and excitement for what you do best: teach and write. Would you like to write a poem to accompany your fall sky photos for the Finding Fall Gallery at http://beyondliteracylink.blogspot.com/2014/09/falling-into-place-as-season-turns.html?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I love your pencil shoes and I especially LOVE your brave notebook. (P.S. I can play that song on my brand new baby grand piano ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that you're going to NCTE. We definitely need to finally meet! :D
