Monday Night Book Club = a big slice of cake, a glass of wine, and lots of laughter :-)
Tuesday, March 13 - A Sign
Last Friday an elementary student who was waiting with his parents to pick up his sister from school started climbing the tree outside my classroom window. We started writing him notes on paper, asking him how his day was, telling him he was a good tree-climber, etc. He went to his parents car and grabbed his notebook and started showing us his drawings (really good drawings!). After the bell rang for the school day to end, a few of my students went out the door by my classroom and spoke to the kid. He told them that we had made his day because he didn't have any friends at school. :-(
So, we decided to leave him little notes attached to my window for him to read each day, hoping to brighten his day. We're posting a new note every few days and have told his sister (a student here at EHS) to tell him to take a peek at our window if he comes with his parents to pick her up from school again. Taking the time to brighten someone's day is always an acceptable lesson in schools across our country, in my humble opinion. It wasn't on the lesson plan, but it was certainly a teachable moment.
*The white arrows on the photo mean nothing. I covered up last names for a few students who accidentally wrote their last name on the note.
I'm lucky that I have a husband who works to find the antique pieces that I want for the house. This vintage ironing board will be turned into a shelving piece for our laundry room.

Lucky the Leprechaun visited RF and Ellis's class at school on Friday! They thought it was so funny to see all of the mischievous things Lucky did in their classrooms.
