SOLSC #29: Bookending my Week with Blue Skies!

 
I "serve up a slice" at Two Writing Teachers
and celebrate with Ruth Ayres at
Celebrate this week!
Discover. Play. Build.

Moments of celebration this past week:

Cherry blossoms on a Sunday afternoon walk 
Student donates new stapler to our classroom
Staggered bloomings - the "ugly" tree has buds
Sharing slices for Kate's 50th birthday
District announces retirement party - I'm listed
Student's humorous slice about his "perfect" dog
Blissful moments when everyone is writing 
Afternoon sunshine at Slater Park

  1. Doesn't take much to get a celebration happening, just a stapler will do. Beautiful picture, you get the best sunsets.

  2. Love the pic, like always, Ramona. But what do you mean about the retirement party & you're listed? Are you retiring this year? I didn't know. Glad you had a nice week.

    1. Yes, I've kept it under my hat because I didn't want to spend my last year looking ahead to retirement. So quite a few folks were surprised to see my name on the list. Looking forward to more flexibility in my life so I can travel to see my kids more (both are still on the east coast). I'll sub some, and I have a few other ideas I'm hoping to pursue. It was harder to turn in my intent than I had anticipated.
