I have been anxiously and excitedly waiting for this moment for over a year, and I can honestly say that I am READY to be back up and running over here in my little corner of the internet all thanks to Alexis from Laugh Eat Learn! Due to some accidental hiccups over on my former Blogger site, my blog started growing cobwebs. And, let's be honest...my departure from the elementary classroom and journey to high school assistant principal last year also made for keeping this space up and running a little challenging. Also...COVID. BUT...here we go! I am back, I have (what I hope will be) exciting content to share, and I am just so grateful to be back in this space. So, please take a moment to visit the site, sign up for my newsletter/email list(I promise not to bombard you), and just take a look around. I am grateful for you! ...

January Leadership Goals
As I continue to navigate my way through this first year of administration, I have learned that choice and priority are two things that I always have to consciously be aware of when it comes to what tasks and accomplishments I need to get done each day.

It is not a daily challenge, but it could certainly be used as one! Instead, it is a list of actions that I have either started and want to ...
Another Year and a Grateful Heart
This morning, I sat down to dust the cobwebs off of this little old blog of mine and write a post since it has been a while....only to discover that there were some major tech and graphic issues going on with my site. I am not sure when it started, because life has just been a little too hectic for me to check in over here, but it totally deflated me. I shut my computer down, got a little angry (real talk), and walked away. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this is totally not something to get upset about. It's time for some small graphic changes over here anyways, and it will actually be the perfect way to get myself and this space transitioned over to sharing about my new role in education. So, even though the blog looks straight blah...please ignore the mess, and I will share regardless. If you hang out with me on Instagram (@rockytopteacher), then you know that I have been a lot more quiet than normal, and my content has been just "there", ...
