Thanks to Nerd In The Brain, an excellent blogger and teacher, for her inspiration to post three things from the past week for which I am grateful.

1.  I am grateful for my students.  They work SO hard and despite bumps in the road, are delightful, resilient, and funny.  A sampling of conversational topics this past week: hippo poop, mouse poop, dog poop, signs of aging (hmm…), autism, college football championship, and skiing.

2.  I am grateful for the parents of my students.  They are gracious, kind, generous, and supportive.  A sampling of conversational topics this past week:  back injury, allergies, skiing, the flu, icy weather, and poop.

3.  I am grateful for my husband.  He is endlessly supportive, hauls my materials everywhere, and makes me cups of tea at every opportunity.  A sampling of conversational topics this week: Friday Night Lights, what’s for dinner, it’s getting late, and “Don’t talk about poop!”

I’d love to hear your list!
