Smiles for Today 10/6/08

I am going to try and do this type of post every day, we'll see how it goes... Also, as a disclaimer, any time I mention a student by name- know that their names have been changed. OK- moving on.

• Hug from Alex (my human jumping bean/student- seriously)
• Joy of finding a lost syllabus so I can do my homework
• Taking the same UTA survey 2 times- I declined for a 3rd
• Sound of heels clicking down a tile hallway
• Watching my students learn to write their names
• Smell of cinnamon rolls baking (not mine)
• Transitioning from heels into flip-flops, ahhhh....
• Seeing my nieces homecoming dance pictures
  
• Hearing, "Teacher, watch this!" (yes, most of my students do not yet know my name.....)
• The fact that- all but one child, stayed put during circle time
  
• Clearing my desk of paperwork
• Hot showers
• Wearing a bright red coat
