Summer is Here!
Who's with me? I am so excited for summer! I'm looking forward to hanging out with my two-year-old and not having to wake up super early. This is this first summer that I will not be attending any conferences, but that doesn't mean that I will not be learning. Summer is a great time to reflect and get rejuvenated for next year. Here are a few free ways to stay relevant and to keep learning this summer. I have more, but I thought 3 ideas would be enough. If we can just tackle one. #summergoals

Summer Book Club
As a district, we are reading the following books this summer:
Multiplier Effect by: Elise Foster, Liz Wiseman, and Lois Allen
Teaching with Poverty in Mind by: Eric Jensen
Contagious Culture by: Anese Cavanaugh
Read the book this summer and have a conversation with a colleague about it. This is a great way to refresh and get new ideas for next year!
Keepin' It Real
I don't know about you, but I am looking forward to summer. Micah and I have been counting down to "Mama and Micah Summer!" I hope you all have a wonderful summer and are able to take the time to refresh and reflect. See you next year!
