Day 50,324: Ok, I've lost count of the days but the resolution continues. Today, I'm thankful for my job. Crazy some days, sensational others but I get to work in a field that displays one of my passions. I love learning and I love kids.
Tonight was SCIENCE NIGHT aka student-led conferences. Back in the day, when I was a youngster, we called nights like tonight "Open House". Our "Open House" began at 4:30pm and the families poured into my classroom where the kiddos were given the oppurtunity to show off their super scientist skills.
Kids went from station to station showing off their knowledge about the properties of matter. They were so engaged and so enthusiastic sharing every little detail they could remember from class about solids, liquids, and gases. Their parents were in awe taking in all of their little yet big words. I heard numerous comments like, "Jack and Jane just love learning. Thank you for all you do."
The warm fuzzies felt nice from their kind words. But they didn't feel as good as the warm fuzzies I got from my kids and how proud of them I was tonight. They bring a smile to my face on so many occasions... I'm thankful for nights like tonight. It is part of the plan of staying happy.
