Some wins today...
Today I subbed in my favorite school building. I go between 5 elementary schools substitute teaching. I have a lot of respect for the principal here. Actually, this year, both the principals, the assistant principal is amazing too. And the truth, if we are truth telling here, is that the secretary says a lot about the building... the welcome to the students, parents and public; building morale.... the building secretary at this school is the bomb! She is amazingly kind, and sweet and knowledgeable.
So anyway... today I was at my favorite building and I walk in (a couple minutes late... IYKYK) to find out that the class I was in had PE first thing in the morning! *win*
That little break early in the day gave me the opportunity to really study the plans and figure things out, get myself organized for the day. *win*
This class went to lunch pretty early. 10:45. So I headed up to the teacher's lounge to heat up my lunch. I walked in and.... whoa! No need for a lunch! The PTO for this building also rocks! And PTO provided lunch for the staff today to show them they are appreciated! *win*
The last hour of the day.... ART! You know, some schools don't have ART, and some schools in this district, only have 40 minutes. So an hour of art was a win for the school, the students and the teachers. And for me, the sub, it was a definite *win*.
Before the end of the day, Ms. Karrah, the amazing secretary, who has a child in the school and is a part of the PTO I was talking about earlier, provided me with school shirts! I sub here a lot. So I decided it would be a worthwhile investment to snag a couple shirts from the PTO. When I received them, they were gifted to me! I didn't have to pay for them! How cool is that?! *win*
These were a few wins today. I seriously doubt these were all the wins because the truth is, we find what we look for. If I looked, I know I'd find more. I have so much to be grateful for. I'm super glad for days like today when there are an abundance of little wins to reflect on and enjoy.
