High Five for Friday

 shirt & skirt: old navy  shoes: ? 

1.  While I love this skirt, I feel like it is a weird length and maybe not very flattering on my short legs.  Wishing it was a maxi skirt or a tad bit shorter.  

2.  I have been wanting a shirt with birds on it for a long time.  One kind of like this:


It is only $11.49 online at Target.
I hardly ever buy anything online but am strongly considering this.

3. I found this note on one of my students' desk the other day: 

Circle yes or no?  It's funny that they are serious.  

4.  This week was teacher appreciation week.  One of the days the students could bring in different sweets or goodies for the teacher. 

One in particular knew exactly what to give me to make me happy.  

And you'd be so impressed to know that it sat on my desk for two days straight and I did not eat any and then brought them home.  

After your comments on this post, apparently you all are addicted to sweets as well.  

I have to report that I am dramatically improving and there have been many days in the last few weeks that I have gone dessert/sweets free! 

5.  There are 17 days left of school. 

SO ready for summer!!

Have a great weekend!

You're growing on me

Although the stresses of school can easily get to me, especially at the end of the year, I am thankful for stories like these that remind me why I love my job. 

The other day a student was helping me "inspect" students' passports as we did a simulation of what it might have been like for immigrants coming to America.  Despite a student's missing information on his passport, I let him go through because he looked overly nervous and I didn't want to make him cry. 

When he walked away I said to my student helper that I thought I'd let that one slide by because I was feeling extra nice. 

She leaned over to me and said, 

"Mrs. Vale, you're really starting to grow on me." 

With only a month left of school, I guess it's about time.
