As we prepare for 2018-2019 and plan our back to school week with teachers, we will be hosting a twitter challenge. With the Twitter challenge and in the effort to boost campus morale I really wanted to create my own staff and student coupons from the administration team with consist of Principal, Assistant Principal, Instructional Coach, and the Counselor. I have seen a lot of cute ones out there and will give credit from those I got ideas from, also check out Pinterest and TPT for some great free ones.

In addition I recently downloaded a POSITIVE REFERRAL for FREE from Fun Fabulous First on TPT.  Positive Office Referral Forms by Fun Fabulous First | TpT https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Positive-Office-Referral-Forms-3008198

Catch of the Day!

Hey there, I hope you're having a Summer full of tans, lounge chairs, and relaxation.

One of my favorite summer habits is not only no alarm, late breakfast, beach tans, and beach sunsets, but I love shopping SLOWLY. :D  What I mean is that during the school year most of my time is managed, organized, and purposeful. Juggling Assistant Principal work and raising 3 boys can become busy and time is always an issue, so when I shop it is for a purpose. IN AND OUT.  So Summer is my favorite time to just walk around stores with no purpose...
This post will be full of fun, cool, useful, and inexpensive finds that I come across while browsing a store.

Today's Catch of the Day was "Miniature Sand Buckets with Mini Shovels" for $1 at Five Below.
If you haven't been in a Five Below... You're missing out! I love their summer floats, five dollar sun glasses, beach towels, seasonal dress up accessories all at or below FIVE BUCKS!!

Each bucket was just ONE DOLLAR. I can think of a million ways to use these little buckets.

• Center Caddie for pencils, label the shovels with group role assignments. (Leader, Technologist, Time Manager, Mess Monitor, Spokesperson)
• Welcome Back to School! Hope you Enjoyed your Summer, welcome bucket placed at each student's desk with a first day scavenger hunt rolled up in the bucket.
• Summer Birthday Favors
• End of Year Farewell Favor
• Sand Bucket Glass: Remove the shovels and use mini buckets as a beverage holder. ;D
• Happy Birthday Favor

I am personally using these mini sand buckets for party favors next month. 

Hope you enjoy Michelle's Catch of the Day!

See you back here soon!
