Well, as Monday approaches, I suddenly realized that my 2 weeks of vacation are over...and not a moment too soon! I spent a week and a half pretty much in a vegetative state before realizing, what a waste. Yes, Christmas is an important holiday and I am sure the kids were delighted to have so much time off. Me, not so much.
Maybe it's just the first year in me talking, but two weeks is far to long for me to be outside the classroom. Now, with only half a year to go, I'm realizing that the long and boring Summer break is approaching...slowly but surely. Okay, okay, albeit, we all needed a break. But even after a break like this, why do I still see so many blogs of teachers that are dreading their return?
I for one am not! I can't wait to get back and try out all the new stuff I came up with while on break to really make the curriculum come alive.
Anyway, I wish every teacher the best as they return to work (if they haven't already). Remember, it's not about us in the big picture, it's about them. To some, we are the only encouragers they have. Remember that next time it seems you can't go on.
