Everyday when my students walk into class they have a Focus, which is just a question to get them settled and ready to learn for the day. Some days their focus has to do with a grammar concept or a short story, while other days it is a free write or silly question. There are a few days a year when the kids' focus is to write a happy list. What happens is I set my timer for 3 minutes, and the kids make a list of things that make them happy. It is an instant spirit boost.
It's all kinds of Monday, and I am in need of a happy list today! So here we go...
- Long summer dresses
- Sunset photo sessions
- My nephew, Cash
- Japanese Grills
- Big Kody Dog
- My huge number 9s that Daddy is making for my front porch
- Hanging flower baskets
- Flip flops
- Books
- God's Amazingness
- Green doors
- Big hair
- A clean house
- Green grass
- Almost blooming peonies
- New music
- Teacher Appreciation Week
- Jeans week @ work
- Singing in the car
- Well behaved classes
- Summer drawing nearer
- Baby photo shoots
Because every post is better with a photo, here's one of my nephew from our photo shoot today.
What would be on your happy list today?
