1. Gave another teacher some hair decorations
So in an earlier penny, I talked about how an Administrator was planning a teacher and student football game. This particular teacher is actually playing in the game and wanted to show some extra school spirit. I knew that she was either going to paint her face or dye her hair. I got her extra football ribbons to use in her hair. I saw them in a sports store, while picking some items up for myself this past weekend from the walk that I did, and instantly thought of her.
2. Cleaned up the auditorium from the previous night's parade event
Again, it was a slight mess. Just trying to keep everything organize for the music students and neat for the morning bus staff.
3. Cleaned up art magazines that were left on the floor
It is collage time in the art area again. The students and teachers get so involved with this activity that everyone loses time. It was easy to just simply bend over and pick the magazines and straighten up the shelves. Organized for everyone.
4. Put away another students band equipment so that she wouldn't be late for school
This is a really good kid that was just having an off morning. I hate that frazzle feeling. So in order to help de-stress her out and let her get to class on time, I offered to put away her color guard rifle back in the supply closet. Please understand that there is a difference between a real rifle and a color guard rifle - one you shoot with and the other you twirl. Obviously, she's a twirler.
5. Helped clean up the football field after the special activity
This activity had its ups and downs - but overall was successful for the students. There were some odds and ends to take care of before leaving the field to return back to the school. My students were already being watched by another teacher - so I helped in gathering up the bits and piece from the game. "Always leave the place better than how you received it."
6. Got water for another person who was seated at the same table as me for an evening meeting
After school and evening meetings are the worst for an educator. We are already exhausted from the day's work, but they are often necessary. This particular teacher was extremely thirsty because they too played in the football game activity. Getting them water was the very least that I could do to help.
7. Reminded another husband to tell his wife that she is beautiful everyday
So at the meeting, another teacher was starting to talk to me about how he just found out that his wife will be having their 4th child - yes, 4th! He was beaming and as excited as if it was his first one all over again. He went on and on about how much he loves his wife and how wonderful he thinks she is - mark of a very devoted and deeply loving husband. So I just simply reminded him to make sure that she knows this - how beautiful she is to him. I remember being pregnant and inwardly not feeling that pretty because outwardly I was of a very different shape.
Note: Husbands do this. Tell your wife that she is beautiful - especially when she is pregnant. And find particular things to comment on - not just a generalize statement. Wives - let your husbands do this and simply say thank you.
Wow - 7 pennies - busy day :-)
