I originally started this blog as a way to keep blogging
after my year blogging for CEC was over.
My every intention was to continue sharing my trials and tribulations as
a teacher in Chicago, but then the craziest school year took over. As I look back at this past school year, I am
not sure how I made it…this year was harder than the year I was taking full
time graduate courses. I struggled with
being thrown into a new position, teaching 3 new content areas, managing a
homeroom for the first time, Rahm’s longer day, and longer year. I began taking sick days, and personal days
(something I had never done in the past).
I dreaded going into work more often than I should have, and ended up
racing the students out the door at dismissal.
To put things quite simply I am burnt out.
Everyone keeps asking me what my plans are for the summer,
and I happily tell them relaxing! I am
spending this summer focusing on myself, and being more than ready to face the
challenges of the upcoming school year.
So follow along this summer as I share all of my fun
projects and activities, as I refocus and reenergize.
