First Day of Preplanning

My last first day back was even better than expected! Traditionally it begins with an ice breaker game in the front lobby followed by grade level skits to introduce team members. The principal tells a data story and outlines academic expectations. Today followed the same pattern and included much hilarity as kindergarten won for best skit and 5th grade for best costumes.

Our theme is "Take a walk on the wild side" and so naturally we went on a field trip to the Jacksonville Zoo. There we had several hours to walk about and take pictures and spend time with fellow team members. Our resource team won the walk about challenge and I personally won a $10 gift card from Starbucks. Perfect!

Of course it was one of the hottest days of the summer, but the heat just added to our adventure and no one seemed to mind at all. 

We were then treated to lunch, a rap song by all of our new teachers and a book of the month presentation. I do not think any other school had as much fun, inspiration and perspiration as we did today!

Here is a fabulous scene from our front lobby!  It's always an adventure at the Creek!
