What a great schedule we have as teachers, no?
Weekends off. Holidays off. Summers off!
I love the teacher schedule, especially since I have two little girls, 9 and 5, that love having their daddy around. I can get home early enough to enjoy a bit of the evening together before we transition to the night time wrap-up.
But the weekends. Man, the weekends are the best. Not only do we have this great break to recharge at the end of a week, but we are given this great time frame, within which we can organize our teaching. Start something on Monday, reinforce and practice all week, assess by the end of the week, and then reevaluate for the start of the next week.
I hope you take the time to recharge from and reevaluate your week this weekend. Don’t think too much about teaching. Teachers are notorious for not leaving their work at work. Take that physical as well as mental break and relax a bit this weekend. Do something nice just for yourself. Spoil yourself.
After all, you deserve it!
