Today's Gratitude Item: Being appreciated :) The library where I volunteer once a month gave me a beautiful thank you card and $60.00 gift voucher for my efforts to date! This was unexpected but deeply appreciated. Getting gifts is always lovely, and being thanked / acknowledged is priceless.
The heart that appeared on the ball was a rather pleasant surprise :)

Today's Gratitude Item: Free 500mm pencils :) No, that is not a misprint, said pencils are extremely long and are basically useless for writing. They were giving them away for free at one of the stores I visited today as a Christmas thing for kids. The reason I'm so excited about said pencils is that they are perfect for orienting the electronic whiteboards at school. The problem is that I'm short and our lab design is slightly tragic meaning that I can't reach the top of the electronic whiteboards to orient them in two of the rooms where my classes meet. Not orienting said boards is not an option as if you don't orient them when you plug in your laptop, then they don't work properly. The solution is to use the eraser on the end of my *new* super long pencil to reach the top of the board. No jumping required. The pencils came in packs of 3 and I snagged two lots, meaning that my short colleagues will benefit as well.
The clipart was inspired by the fractal. Both turned out well.

Today's Gratitude Item: Good weather for our field trip. The kids all worked hard and we had a brilliant day.
When flowers get stressed, they appear to be "Strung Out".

Today's Gratitude Item: Guaranteed muffins tomorrow for morning tea. Said muffins are guaranteed because I bought them on the way home today! Tomorrow everyone in the middle school is "out" on Community and Service day which means muffins for morning tea for the staff and a great day out for our students.
This is an experiment that went somewhat awry. This one is so bad that I thought twice about blogging it, but its late and I'm tired so here it is.

Today's Gratitude Item: Completing my last "Unit Plan" for the year. Said plans are really teaching materials that I create electronically and share with my colleagues. Whilst they are useful and convenient, they take a *very* long time to create as the process involves finding resources (videos / animations / simulations), decided on practical experiments and writing / sourcing worksheets.
