It is quiet this Saturday morning, No new snow even though it is still cold. As I wait for the Olympic hockey game to begin, the only sound is my furnace running. Whether it is Friday evening or Saturday morning when I am writing my celebration posts, I love doing these!! Thinking about my week. Counting my blessing! Thank you Ruth, for helping us find the joys in our lives!
Yesterday I had the day off because of President's Day weekend. I was relaxing at home when I remembered that I should make a haircut appointment. To my wonderful surprise, my hairdresser had time available Friday afternoon!!!! I feel like I have more energy as there is a little less weight around my head now (silly I know, but it makes me so happy).
I have two pre-student teachers who are both getting an ESL/TESOL minor. One of them was in my classroom this past fall for a few observation hours and wanted to come back for 30 more! She walked in on Monday morning with gifts of chocolate! The other pre-student teacher speaks Spanish!!!! She made my new student from Guatemala so happy! I am blessed!
My small group has been praying for one of my coworkers pregnancy. On Thursday evening I got a happy text from her. She had just had an ultrasound and things are looking much better than previously! Perfect way to start a long weekend!
What are you celebrating today?
Oh, a haircut...I may try and squeeze in an appointment today. I totally get what you're saying about feeling lighter! :) So happy for good news on your coworkers pregnancy! Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle! Hope your weekend is good as well!
DeleteIt's the small things like haircuts, days off, and chocolate. So glad to hear your coworker is doing better. That is so scary. The fact that your pre-student teacher wanted to come back to your classroom says a lot about you - celebrate! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteToday I will celebrate by visiting family! Hope you are doing something fun today as well!
DeleteSo lovely that those students wanted to come back...not to mention the gift of chocolates. That's always a cause for celebration in my book!
ReplyDeleteSmall things can make a big celebration!
DeleteHappy for all the goodness in your week, Jaana. Hope the weekend is good too!
ReplyDeleteThese celebration Saturdays help me keep a track of many wonderful things that are happening!
DeleteI celebrate that you can share your expertise and inspire the pre-student teachers.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Terje! I am all for encouraging young teachers to get more experience working with ELL students.
DeleteI like that you have your pic up here. White and blue. Like the Finnish flag - one of the most beautiful flags in the world. You look wonderful - a new haircut and a bright smile.
DeleteLittle things like hair can play a bigger role than we think possible. If we like how we look, we're more confident I think. I'm letting my hair grow out so I can donate to Locks for Lock.
ReplyDeleteI don't have that much patience with my hair. Kudos to you!
DeleteLove it all! I tried to get a hair cut and a massage Friday as well, unfortunately i will have to wait until Monday! Guess I will return fresh Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteMassage? I need to make an appointment as I have a gift certificate!
DeleteGreat to read about your fun week - a haircut, chocolates, and good news for your co-worker. Blessings for a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ramona!
DeleteWhat a wonderful week for you! I completely get the joys of a hair cut!
ReplyDeleteThanks Loralee! I finally even updated my profile pic!
