It’s Saturday, time to celebrate at Ruth Ayres Writes.
ONE
Five days of tracking my food. I try to be mindful of what I eat. I want to track my food and exercise. Tracking exercise is easy. Food? Not so much. Been I have been using “My Fitness Pal” app this week and it’s pretty painless.
TWO
This orchid which bloomed. I received the plant two years ago from a school parent. It bloomed, blooms fell off, and it was ignored. Two months ago I noticed the blossom shoot. That’s pretty amazing. I think it’s even prettier than the first time it bloomed.
THREE
Going to the Northwest Council of Computer Education conference in Portland, Oregon. So great to be able to attend a conference and be with your peers. It did make my head spin with possibility.
FOUR
The poems that are being written by fifth graders. The are writing “Deeper Thinking” poems in response to their classroom nonfiction unit. My two Friday classes were quiet like mice in their work. This idea came from Michelle when she had the Ditty of the Month Challenge in January. It was based on Joyce Sidman’s poem in Winter Trees. they will be on postcards and shared at this blog in April.
FIVE
