High Five for Friday: Enjoying the Small Things, Always.


I'm so excited that the weekend is here! A few reflections on my week:

1. Walking outside. I was determined to be outside after school as much as possible this week. The weather has been absolutely beautiful and I want to enjoy what's left of it before the leaves start falling to signal that winter is on it's way. After a long day of work, I dream of coming home and putting on comfy clothes. However, there's really no better feeling than to be soaking up the fresh air outside. 

2. Surviving back to school night. It's one of those nights that teacher's anticipate and wait for. We also put a lot of planning into it - not only do we want the night to go seamlessly, but we want parents to understand and experience what we do with their children each day. It was a success and I'm glad it's behind us! :-)

3. Love Notes in my lunch bag. My husband tucked a little love note inside my lunch bag the other day. I noticed it when I was packing the rest of my lunch in the morning and it simply made my day. Enjoying the small things, always. 

4. Photo Gallery Wall Makeover. The monster project. With my burst of energy last weekend, I plucked over twenty frames off of the wall, tearing my gallery wall apart. I love the "fresh canvas" that I've created. Now I'm waiting for my husband's help to implement my new vision... 

5. Receiving books in the mail. I received a huge box of books in the mail this week - all for my classroom. I started reading the first chapter of each one and I'm hooked... I'm having trouble choosing one to stick with though. I'm eager to read them and then get them into the hands of my students.
