Making the move to Instagram to share my educational journey as the new principal at Barnard Elementary.
Please follow me at MrsBushTSD so we can stay connected!!!
I will take the impact the Troy Union community had on my life in everything I do. Thank you to all who played an important role in shaping me into who I am today. I am forever changed and forever grateful. 💕

Looking to take two from our neighbors today at their place. It’s a beautiful day to come out and watch our rivalry games.

Despite our Ace being out, Seaholm goes undefeated to win the Athens Showdown. Senior @abby_pinch_14 wins 2 while freshman Adele Bush picks up her first win in her first start. @lolaweberr goes yard while @abby_pinch_14, @Emmaweber07, Voigt and Hill each have multiple hit games.

Hey TU, use your day off tomorrow to look for books for our Book Swap coming up soon! Also if you are able to donate a NEW book for @FofFK , Friendsoffostercare.org we would love it! @TroyUnion
Powerful learning with @natalielouis13 building our letter sound knowledge in both reading and writing as we use our ABC chart in creative ways! Studying our Ss writing by asking, “What thrills me? What does it say about their identity? What can I teach them now?”#OneTROY
Thank you @alicialuick for 2 wonderful days of growing our understanding of the reciprocity between reading and writing with explicit teaching around vocabulary to support our Ss and LIFT the level of their work! #TroyUnion

How can you keep track of every student's strengths and needs to inform your curriculum planning? @JorgeDoesPBL suggests trying a simple visual tool called an empathy map! 😍
Feeling inspired by powerful words about reclaiming student agency in writing! “Anytime we standardize writing, we sideline diverse voices. Worse, we marginalize them. As Goulding Mohammed notes, it is especially important to give voice to Ss who are developing a sense of self.”
Loved seeing all the TU families on this beautiful summer day. What a fabulous community. 🙌🏻 Already can’t wait till the next one. Keep reading, dreaming and creating #TroyUnion rockstars!
Well done @Teaching24_7 and @HollyGordon_TSD. What a great meetup for #TroyUnion students and staff members. Perfect day to connect and swap books.

These girls advocated to do something special at #TroyUnion. They presented to our PTO & obtained the funds to plant our very own Wish Tree. Thank you @troyschools Building & Grounds for your help. Way to go @Teaching24_7 and @NickFisette for empowering.
June 1st isn’t slowing down Troy Union’s math buddy mentors! These fifth graders bring joy into learning math with their 2nd grade buddies! #TroyUnion #finishstrong
This profound speech is a beautiful reminder of how seeing WORTH IN EVERYONE and living a “life of service” brings meaning to our lives and leads to transformation in our everyday acts. Don’t let this video pass you by, stop, listen and be inspired! npr.org/2022/05/12/109850652…
The heart of writer’s workshop lives in our small group instruction as we teach with intentionality to reinforce, support and lift the individual needs of our students by turning over the work to them! #onetroy #troyunion Thank you @natalielouis13
No better way to spend my lunch than with this group of incredible 4th grade leaders to pick out a Tree from Tellys that will soon become our TU Wishtree! Another reason why the kids are “ALWAYS MY WHY” in this amazing profession! #TroyUnion #OneTroy
Absolutely can’t wait to welcome these engaged and excited readers to @TroyUnion ! Thanks so much for having us! I’m still smiling from the fun we had. 🙂
Keep them coming TU families! Our kindness rock garden is going to look amazing! How nice it will be to find some encouraging words when we need them. #Becauseoftherabbit
Some of the kindness rocks that were made over the weekend with their families. Love all of these #mirm activities. Thank you @Teaching24_7 #troyunion
