Nearly every Friday the third grade teacher and I stay late to do our planning and photocopying for the next week. It has become routine. Most weeks Sandi goes to Starbucks and buys coffee for whoever is staying late. Sometimes Nikki, the 6th grade teacher, stays and on the rare occasion one or two others will stay. Sandi is very gracious, she never will accept money and always treats us. Occasionally someone will slip a gift card into her box; we never own up to who gave it to her, but she usually figures it out. Some weeks Sandi is too tired to go all the way to Starbucks or we have Starbucks on Thursday because we stayed through for an evening event, so she goes to Dunk'n Donuts. It's just not the same. Yesterday the librarian made a Starbucks run in the middle of the morning. What a treat! I sipped on my Cinnamon Dulce Latte during social studies, while my students eyed it with envy. I managed to make it last until after lunch! This afternoon as I sipped my DnD French vanilla, I thought longingly of yesterday's Cinnamon Ducle Latte.
Coffee drinks do help to get the work done. You are lucky to have such good people to work with.
ReplyDeleteWhat great teamwork. Somehow, a cup of coffee from Starbucks makes everything a bit more festive. Enjoy your colleagues-- you are lucky to have them!
ReplyDeleteAh, everything goes better with coffee! What a great group!
ReplyDeleteThey really are a great group. I'm going to miss them next year!
