With spring break a week ahead I have started to noticed my kiddos have turned into squiggly worms. Who can blame their bright and shiny faces as they look out the window on this bright and sunny day thinking about all the fun they will have a recess. In order to give them a teeny break before coming back to earth (reading) I let them chat about what they were going to do over break and it worked like a charm. Just one or two minutes of chatting and then to reading land we went.
I chose intentions as my "One little Word" this year. I was chatting about work/life with one of my best friends who has been in my life for over 17 years a few months ago and she gave me probably the best advice I needed in that exact moment, which was to set my intention each day before arriving at work. This happened to be around the same time that my colleagues were sharing their "OLW's" and I thought I would try it out as well. I thought about my conversation with my friend and it hit me...intentions... I wasn't sure if it was the right kind of word but it felt right to me. It is a word that could fit in every aspect of my life. I am constantly thinking about my intentions and they have quickly become the fuel of my day to day. Intentions. Setting the intention. Treating people with good intentions. Doing everything with the best intention no matter the situation. What's your "OLW"?
Love the image of squiggly worms! Yes, everyone is ready for spring break.
ReplyDeleteSquiggly worms longing to be outside - great image. I know how they feel, too. Good luck keeping them down to earth for the next few days before your break!
ReplyDeleteI think teachers feel that way too! I also find that a little chatter time helps my students settle down again.
