Why didn't I think of that?

I found something today I wanted to pass along to my teacher friends. It's from a great blog I love and one you should check out. It's called The Organized Classroom.
This cool idea is for storing those posters and charts you really don't want to roll up, but don't have the space for.

Simple Things

Spring Has Sprung!

How many of you take the time to enjoy the simple things that each day brings? The hug from a child, the shape of a cloud as it drifts across the sky?  Sometimes in our hustle and bustle to fill our day with tests and rules and the skills we must cover that day, it's easy to miss out on the simple things.

Did we cover our math objectives today?... Yes

Did we talk about nouns?... Yes

 Did we review our sight words?... Yes 

But...

We made fairy crowns and fairy bracelets and

flower necklaces. I have a wet spot on the seat of my jeans from sitting on the ground. 

We read good books with cozy buddies and braided hair. (I have two boys, so I don't really do hair)

    

We took time to enjoy some simple things today...and it was good. I hope in the midst of your busy, crazy days, you will take the time to enjoy something simple too. It will be worth it.
