115/180 Read Across America Day#3

Sometimes things don't go according to plan,
but it turns out anyway.
Had to change around some readers today,
but the stand-ins were great as well,
and familiar faces. 

My teaching assistants are amazing women. 

I miss not chatting with them in person.

Zoom classes are different.

They don't have the same feeling as being in a classroom

working collaboratively and chatting daily about life's ups and downs.

I miss that.

Next week we are set to return to teach from our classroom.

It's been awhile.

But I think we are ready.

It was Pajama Day.

It was a long day of three intervention sessions,

signing school docs, 2-hour therapy interviews

and boyman doing late evening laundry.

It was also a challenging mom-of-a-teen day.

I'm just tired.
Hoping today's rain

brings beautiful skies

and a little peace as well.

*I've been writing in a gratitude journal each night. Just one sentence of something happy or that I was thankful for that day, to end on a positive. My positive today: being able to work with my students in small groups and actually seeing and hearing what they know and don't know. It makes a difference.
