Five for Friday

I went back to school for the first time this week! I went to a meet and greet to meet my new principal. I cannot say enough nice things about my new principal. He is exactly what our school needs and what I was looking for in a leader. He has a great FISH philosophy that he plans to implement in our school. He is super positive, organized, and friendly. I'm very excited for the upcoming school year. 

When I went to school, I also went to into my classroom. I found it just the way I left it which was great! I just went to drop off things because they haven't cleaned the floors yet. 

I bought this adorable navy chevron cushion for my room. I found it at Target in the kids furniture area but it is labeled online as outdoor furniture. The best part about it is the durable and fire retardant fabric.

I started an online course called Marzano Instructional Model this week. It is based off the book Becoming a Reflective Teacher by Marzano. It is a completely boring class with a lot of videos, modules, and assignments. The silver lining is I get paid from the county and get professional development points. 

I just got back from an awesome vacation to Washington D.C.! We went for a surprise birthday and 4th of July celebration. Our friend was completely surprised and we all had the best time. This is a picture from our firework! It was the best 4th of July ever! 

 I have one month until school starts! Summer is flying by so I'm

going to enjoy every last bit of it!
