The little things...

I love the little things in life. They make for more enjoyment: such as hugs from those students that give one gray hair or a school day going smoothly and staying on schedule...like TODAY!! Wow it was great. It almost felt like a normal school day not the 12th day. The children were with me and listened more than they have been. Hooray for those small victories. If you can't win the war, try to win the second by second battle. I have discovered to take note of and enjoy things that go as planned when I don't plan for it to happen. Like today during reading...we read; the students were captivated. Then, based on the book, we discussed things that fly, go in the water and on the road. It was a great lesson and went really well. Maybe it's just a teacher thing. :)
