Back from Tallahassee update

 Hey so were are basically in the middle of June, and I'm back from my weeklong trip to Tallahassee. The trip was amazing. Not only did I have a lot of fun, but it's a paid trip, and  I will become a published author for CPALMS once I officially submit those 3 lesson plans lol. So let me break the trip down. So CPALMS is a website that provides teachers all over the country with free online resources they can use in the classroom. So the state of Florida wants to integrate civics into other subjects. Subjects like math, science, reading. And they have created new standards that are civics standards for this. So CPALMS flew out 120 teachers (including me lol) to Florida's capitol to attend the weeklong professional development. So when I say they flew us out, they flew us out. We had airfare provided, they gave us rentals, they paid for our meals, and provided us with hotel stay. LOL heyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! I never been flew out before, that was a first lol. It was a great time. They had breakfast for us each morning. They took us out on field trips. We even went and got a tour of the supreme court, and I was able to play chief justice. Ya'll it was a good time. I'm going to post pictures below. 

So a typical day while was there, looked like this:

6 am: Wake up and go to the hotel gym.

7am: Shower, Clean room, get dress.

8am: Check emails, create to do list

8am: breakfast on third floor of hotel with other teachers.

9am-12: Professional development in hotel conference rooms

12-1:30: Lunch, yes we had 90 minutes for lunch lol.

1:30-5: Professional development in hotel conference rooms

Evening: Chilled in my hotel room, Tried a different restaurant daily, went out to the bar.

All in all, it was ahmazing!!!
