Grateful Friday

 Yesterday I put this on my door:

I saw the idea and bought a little Teachers Pay Teachers set.  I asked my class to help me remember the books I'd read to them so far this year.  I wrote the titles on the book covers.

It made me very happy that they remembered a lot of the books that I had forgotten about!

(It also made me happy that the set came with plants.)

I will keep adding to it as the year goes on and I read more books to them.

I am constantly preaching to them that I am teaching them math (trying to at least) because they will use it all the time as adults.  To that end, I presented them with my problem.  The shelves were two inches tall, the books were nine inches tall.  The door below the window was 38 inches.  I had them help me decide how far apart to place the shelves.  (I gave them guidance because we haven't even learned division yet.)

I love my little corner of the world.  Sometimes it is sheer chaos and sometimes it is aggravating, but sometimes it is downright delightful.

I'm grateful for room 108.
