Slice of Life: On My Desk
(In approximate order of how long they've been on my desk ... Thanks to Elisabeth for the inspiration.)
A wind chime used to get attention
A ceramic crane a student brought back for me from Epcot Japan, in honor of our class folding 1000 paper cranes
A box for holding note paper (now post-its) that still contains a greeting from that student
A painted birdhouse in honor of the annual "Prepositional Birdhouse" lesson
A tiny squeezy koala bear, brought back from Australia (by a third grader who is one of my seventh graders now, but I don't know that she's noticed)
A nazar (blue eye amulet) from a student from Turkey
A gigantic painted pottery pencil - with wings and a cape!
A tiny clay blob figure holding a pencil and a paper that says "Katie"
A Raymie Nightingale-labeled mason jar that once held candy corn and now holds abandoned pencils from the floor
A mysterious wooden box with the question "What is the unbelievable FIB?" won at last year's Nerd Camp Michigan art auction
A rally towel from last January's Packers playoff game against the Giants
A bookmark from a student the previous year who dropped it off on my desk as a surprise
A remembrance for Amy Krouse Rosenthal
Two never-ending stacks of books: to read, to review, to hand out to students
Rarely ... me.

Your desk is its own memory lane. Will you ever point out the koala bear?
