Slice of Life - Celebrate This Week - 3/22/14

March 22, 2014 Alyson Beecher

Slice of Life is hosted by

Two Writing Teachers

on Tuesdays.  For the

month of March

, I am participating in the March Challenge by posting a slice daily.

This year, I am trying to increase my awareness of the many good things that happen, which are frequently overlooked by me.  To help me, I am joining Ruth Ayres'

Celebrate This Week

.

Here's what I am thankful for this week...

1. 

Spring Break

- Though it is almost over, it has really been a pretty perfect week.  I enjoyed hanging out and putzing around.  I could sleep in or stay up late and no need to dress up all week.

Homemade Poptart from Nickle Diner in Los Angeles

2.

Hanging out with Friends

- Last Sunday morning, I had a chance to visit with Teresa Bunner (

@rdngteach

) while she was in Los Angeles for the ASCD conference. We had breakfast at a little place in Los Angeles and even had homemade poptarts. Yum!  Additionally, I got to have lunch later in the week with some of my local teacher buddies that I do not see often enough.

3.

Movies and Friends

- I seldom see movies in the theater and I even more seldom see them on release day or during the release weekend.  Last week, I kicked it off by going to see the

Veronica Mars

movie with some friends.  It was a blast to watch it with other folks who knew the characters and were just as eager to see it.  I finished the week with going to see

Divergent

with a different set of friends.  I love my book community and how we not only share favorite books but movies and more.

4.

Skyping with Cathy Potter's students

-

Cathy Potter

is a school librarian in Maine.  This past week, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet via Skype with some of her 5th graders to answer questions about the Schneider Family Book Award. What a great group of students and some really good questions. 

5.

Cleaning and Sorting

- Though I took my time with closet cleaning and other sorting projects, things are slowing shaping up.  I was excited to be able to pull together about 200 books that will be welcome additions to classrooms and libraries in my District. Additionally, I found a gift card that I had misplaced (yes, now I can get those new running shoes I wanted), and a sweater that I was looking for.  Sadly, I still seem to be missing a couple of pillowcases and a bunch of socks.  What is it about the dryer that seems to cause things to disappear?

What are you celebrating this week?
