I always thought the day went by quickly when I was a classroom teacher, but as an assistant principal, it seems like the minute the first bell rings for the day, it's only an hour later and the dismissal bell rings.
The days are packed with so much. Classroom walk throughs, sitting in IEPs, working through conflict with students, returning parent phone calls, meetings with teachers...it's insanity at it's best. And I love every.second.of.it. Ok. I just lied a little.
There are some days that are more taxing than others. There are days when I go into school at 7:00 am like this:

and leave at 5:00 like this:

I seriously would not change it for the world. Every morning, I wake up thinking about how lucky I am to be in this amazing leadership position where I can make positive change for the students and teachers I get to work with.
Too often, I don't get to stop and say thank you to all our teachers for their incredible work. Over the Thanksgiving Break, I had some time to play around with smore.com. I came up with a super small snapshot of all the incredible things going on every day at my school.
I feel so lucky to get to work at my school and wish I could stop every day to say thank you to the awesome teachers at my school making a difference for our kids.
