2015, In the beginning

Our 2015 school year is already off to an amazing start!  I can't begin to describe how humble, blessed, excited and honored I am to have my dream job in such an amazing school!  Since school started for our county this week, all of the teachers started back with a PD at a local ropes course on Monday.  If you have never challenged yourself with a ropes course.... I highly recommend it!  It was great to have adult playtime and try something new, but also to experience the encouragement and teamwork outside of the school setting is something nothing short of incredible!  You get to know people in a different light; you laugh, cry, scream, squeal, clap, holler, gasp,..... just about every emotion comes out!  And that was just on Monday.

Tuesday was an exciting day of Faculty meetings, binders, paperwork, new behavior systems, PTA lunch and about 50 fire alarms.  Which by the way, you can tell we are all teachers because when the alarm sounds off and we know it is nothing serious, we don't flinch!  We just keep on working!

Wednesday.... here they come!  I love seeing the smiles, hugs, hellos and all the growth spurts!  Seeing the laughter, brightness and future in these young adults is exciting.  

Beginning of the Quarter brings syllabus discussion and our Element and Principle practice and review which this year we are making 3D stars for some school-wide decorations.

The template for the star can be found here.
