Sharing this poster as a reminder for myself and anyone else who may need it before I change the quote for a new school year. If something isn’t working…don’t scrap the goal! Just pivot and try a new plan! Keep the goal, dream the goal…don’t give up! 💚💛

I will never not get excited over the little gems like notes or drawings from students. They are my absolute favorite and always will be. ❤️ #teachersofig #teachersofinstagram #principalsfollowprincipals #principalsofig #motivation #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinsta #rockytopteacher #elementaryschool #elementaryprincipal #memories #glimmers

I leave this little gem waiting for me on my desk

I leave this little gem waiting for me on my desk each morning so that when I walk in and get my day started, this is my first task! It helps give me little reminders of all the good that I am grateful to be surrounded by.

What are some things that you are grateful for today? I would love to hear about them in the comments!❤️

**I have purchased this little gratitude journal 3 different times on Amazon for $6.99.

2nd Semester….here we go! I spent some time today getting myself organized and ready for the second half of the school year so that I can serve our school community to the best of my ability.

✔️Dreams have been dreamt
✔️Plans have been made.

Let’s do this!💚🐝💛

Spent a little bit of time yesterday getting this “Vision Board” hung up in our new meeting space at school.

I still need to add a fun saying to go on the top of the board, but I can’t wait for our staff to be able to add dreams, goals, and plans to this board to help us when creating awesome experiences for our school community.

This was a fun library read today, and it had to come home with me so I could share it with the girls. Snails have lots of fun and unique traits to share with others. 📚 #whatdrcooperread #classroombookaday #readersgonnaread #picturebook #picturebooksaremyjam #picturebooksareforbigkidstoo #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #teachersofinsta #rockytopteacher #principalsofinstagram #elementaryprincipal

Family movie night was a lot of fun! We had several hundred of our school community join us for an indoor movie night in our gym.

I am the worst at remembering to take photos, but I did get a quick photo of our awesome new screen that was donated by a sweet school family. #teachersfollowteachers #principalsofinstagram #principalsfollowprincipals #teachersofinstagram #schoolcommunity #familyengagement
