Let it Rain...

I feel refreshed! My sweet principal picked me and six other teachers at my school to go to an AIMS Science training in Pelham, GA. On the 2nd week of school...we thought she was crazy! I was dreading leaving my wild group for the 7th and 8th days of school..haha! However, it was just what I needed. We didn't have to be at the bus garage until 8am. Then we rode together in a van to Pelham in the rain..which I love..both days! We had a lunch break for an hour and ended at 3...slice of heaven. During our lunch breaks we shopped. Downtown Pelham is super cute! They have the polka dot spot..which is pretty well known in Tville, everything was 50% off in the entire store due to new shipments coming in. But there were several other cute shops and restaurants as well. Our training was hands on and we got lots of cool science blacklines and ideas!! Most of all I liked the talks that our group had througout the day and ride back to Thomasville. K teachers: Laren, Alacia, Joanna, Gail, and I. PreK: Carole and Donna. Then our math coach went: Toni! I just feel ready to go back to school tomorrow. I feel like I have some new ideas and a stronger support system. I really needed to be encouraged and I feel like I got that from the girls in my school family. I also got to see some of my GP family Tues. after school for an early supper! I feel very blessed!
