At 3:30 today , I was so done. I walked out of school so mentally and physically drained. I am so ready for this break. It is so so so very needed.
This year has not been terrible by any means. I have a huge group of kiddos, but they are pretty nice kids. It has just been the demands and expectations of teachers these days that get me. My never ending emails that are thrown at me, the tireless effort my teaching partner and I put into thinking about what we are teaching them and trying to meet everyone’s needs and all of the educational politics that really eat at me.
I’m so ready to shut off my teacher self for a solid week and just be present with my family. As I sit here typing this, my body is calling me to shut my eyes and go to sleep as my legs feel as if they have sunk into the couch.
I will soak up every minute of this break and try very hard to recharge and reenergize myself for a great end of the year. I know I can do it. Go be awesome Kelly.
