Today I…
Today I had treats waiting on my desk when I arrived in the morning. (Thank you Treat Fairy!)
Today I was invited to a classroom where students shared their ideas for saving the planet by taking small actions in our school community. Action is the heart of the PYP! π
Today I had a better day than yesterday.
Today I held four curriculum meetings and one team meeting.
Today I got to talk a lot about writing, and it felt good! I realize how much I miss being a literacy coach.
Today I gazed at my flowers I received yesterday for Albanian Teacher’s Day. I love fresh flowers!
Today I realized it’s my bestie’s 1 month countdown to her baby’s arrival!!!
Today I wished loads of women Happy International Women’s Day!
Today I treated myself to a manicure and pedicure. Now I’m pretty in pink! π
Today I am slicing from a bar, where I’m munching on chips and guac and drinking a Malibu and Coke. I sorta love it.
Today I made children laugh.
Today I read. And not just emails!
Today I scared two people…and then proceeded to laugh my head off!
Today I wished a fabulous friend a happy birthday…so sad I’m not there to celebrate with her this year.
Today I booked a car for my road trip to Greece this weekend.
Today I had such a great conversation about writing and teaching with a colleague and friend.
Today I was productive.
Today I was happy.
Sounds like a great day in Albania–or anywhere!
Thanks! It was! π
Now that’s the way to have a great day! Each item alone could bring a smile, but what a bouquet of special-ness for this day!
You nailed it!
Thanks for the post, and the reminder that sometimes lovely things come from the simple. No need to complicate or overthink. The scaffold was enough…Have a great time in Greece!
Simplicity is lovely. Thanks! I can’t wait!
“Today I scared two peopleβ¦and then proceeded to laugh my head off!” This sounds very ominous and FUN!
Haha it was totally fun! I love to scare people.
I love happy days. Days where you can just say, “Yup, I rocked it!”. Here is to more of those in the future.
Exactly! Here’s to more days like today. π
Sounds like a lovely day to me, Aggie. I envy you the ‘weekend’ to Greece-awesome!
Thank you! I am lucky that I live so close to Greece that I can go for a weekend!
I love that you realised it was a month until my due date and I didn’t π it sounds like you had an amazing day. I miss you!!
haha…yeah, you’re not one for countdowns or anniversaries. That’s why you have me! π Miss you lots!

I enjoyed your use of this format and ended up using it for my slice today. Thank you for the inspiration!
Glad you tried the format out…I love reflecting on my day like this.
I think this is a great structure for a slice. Very effective. Moving through your day as you did in this slice made me feel like I was right there with you. Thanks for sharing.
I used to live in Greece. Have a great trip and enjoy the beautiful countryside.
Where did you live in Greece? I’m headed to Thessaloniki this weekend, but I’ve also visited Corfu, Paros, Santorini, and Athens.
We lived in Athens. So beautiful there!
Omigosh, I love this list. I needed to read about someone’s happy day as I sit here all grumpy from mine…this is one of the perks of the SOLSC, living vicariously through others’ blogs!
So glad it brightened your day. You should try it out as a slice someday.
