- Compliments from students
- Compliments from colleagues about my clean and smelly good classroom
- Days that I don't have to internal sub on my plan period
- My chevron borders on my whiteboards
- My Febreeze wax melts with Gain
- A new dry erase marker
- "Inside" jokes with different class periods
- Students trying to do math without a calculator
- Students willingly helping their classmates
- When students help other classmates by asking questions instead of just telling them answers
- When a student is in a bad mood but still chooses to do their work
- The students' joy in correcting my mistakes
- When students get the binders for the other people that sit at their table
- Students who are excited to tell me about their weekends every Monday
- When students ask me personal questions because they are curious about my life
- Students who say bye or have a good day or something nice when they leave the classroom
- When students ask if I'm coming to an extracurricular activity
- When students say "Did you hear about..." because they want me to be in on the gossip
- A joke that makes the whole class laugh together
- When students are so engaged that it's silent and you can tell they are all in their own world
- When students are arguing over who's right about a problem and call me over to decide
- STUDENTS THAT HAVE THEIR OWN PENCILS EVERY DAY
- When a student calls me over for help then shoos me away because they already found their mistake
- When I walk around the room and ask students if they need me and they say no
- When the copiers and printers work awesomely
- Color coordinating ALL THE THINGS
- Cleaning my desk off at the end of a school day
- When students cook or eat in another class and make a special trip to bring me some
- When students beat me to saying "Two nice things!" when a student is rude
- When I ask students fun questions on bell ringers and they ask for my answers too
That was way easier than I thought and writing them made me smile.
Try it!
