Happy Little Thing for September 3

The lovely silence of my classroom on a Friday afternoon after school.  It was a good week, getting to know the kids and slowly getting back into the routine of a day partitioned into 56 minute blocks. And now I decompress, as I do every afternoon.  I sit quietly, take stock of the day, and wait for the parking lot traffic to clear out.   It's a long weekend, so that makes this time that much sweeter.
