From One Teacher to Another
I am laying in bed typing this out; wide awake and anxious for tomorrow. It is okay to feel the way you feel. It doesn’t make you any less of an educator for wanting a few more day of break. I still have missed and thought about my students every day over break. I have worried about their safety over breaking, knowing school may be the only stable environment for them. I am excited to see my kiddos tomorrow! I love my job! However…… The holiday season is a busy and chaotic time. We as humans do not get to go on “break” just because we have off from work. Life happens, and there are other stressors we have to take on during those times. This is just a reminder that it is OKAY, to be reluctant to go back. We do not have to be “ready” to go back. Within these thoughts - we need to remember that we are still the amazing teachers we are, who love our students and doing what we do!
