Fidget

There was a professional development workshop this afternoon.  We learned about different strategies to help students in the classroom.  The thing that struck me on a more personal level is the amount of things I do that are apparently coping mechanisms.  Like bouncing my legs and rubbing my fingers and how eating can help me stay awake and pay better attention.  One of the other paras brought knitting to do and the teacher (an occupational therapist) encouraged them to knit during class.  I may bring sewing to the next professional development day-or a fidget toy.  😉

The blooming tree outside of school today was lovely and buzzing with bees.  These flowers and the bees pollinating them are my happy things for today.
