Happy as I am to have long days to myself — sleeping in, reading for pleasure, enjoying my children — I am beginning to miss my students. What a strange thing it is to have over two weeks away from these little individuals with whom I usually spend most of my days!
I’m currently traveling for the holidays, away from home, and I keep thinking of the mountain of work that sits on my desk back at home. Want to see the list?
- book reports to read
- math test to correct
- dictations to correct
- classroom cleaning — recovery from our holiday party, take down holiday decorations
- chalkboard drawing
- block prep — including stories, artistic work and morning movement activities
I’ll have two days — Saturday and Sunday — to get it all done. Then there’s my house to think about!
