One of my favorite ways to wrap up the week is the 5-4-3-2-1 Reflection. I know many slicers have used this form as well. I typically write this in my notebook on Fridays, but I decided to use it for my Saturday slice to look back on my week...but in reality, my inspiration is wanning.
Five things that made me smile
Shopping with my daughter.
Finishing a book.
Walking without my crutch.
Avoiding severe weather.
Having my son home for the weekend.

Four words to describe my week
relaxing
windy
restful
hopeful
Three plans for the weekend
Do some light cleaning (as much as my knee will let me).
Enjoy time with my son.
Catch up on grading.
Two things I learned this week
Losing weight will help my arthritis (not that I didn't already know this, but my orthopedic surgeon politely reminded me of this yesterday).
I need to reteach how to write a constructed response.
One goal for the week ahead
Eat better (see the first thing I learned this week).
Happy Weekend!
Thank you to Two Writing Teachers for creating
a space for me and other teacher-writers to share our stories.

Good luck with your goal...it's one I share, for the same reason. It's hard, even though we are armed with plenty of knowledge.

ReplyDeleteI loved this and thank you for providing the inspiration for today's slice. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love this format and your honest representation of imperfection...that I share
ReplyDeleteEat better is always a challenge for me.
ReplyDeleteI think you taught me about this prompt. I use it every Friday and love reading back through them when I finish a journal. It makes you realize how many positives -big and small- that happen in our lives. Enjoy the time with your son!
ReplyDeleteLeigh Ann, I love the reflection format you are using in 5-4-3-2-1. I, too, need to lose weight and eat better. It's such a struggle. I'm glad you are spending time with your son this weekend and hope you all share some memorable moments together!
ReplyDeleteLeigh Anne, I like this format for getting to know someone's week. Very nice. I especially like the five things that made you smile, especially "Walking without my crutch." Hooray!
