I've been noticing myself being able to leave a bit earlier. My routines have been developed, tweeked, trashed, and re-developed, tweeked again and now seem to be taking shape. I do not have to put in that extra hour or so a night to re-think and re-design things. Which means that I am riding the wave of weekly plans and surviving in a more mentally sound manner!
How about all of you? Just dealing with the daily grind or still beating yourself up over the little things. It is easy to do after all. Are your nights becoming longer- and days at school shorter?

Helpful hint: teach in a low income, at risk, somewhat sketchy, semi-dangerous neighbor and they will kick you out of the building at like 6pm in order to set the alarms. Totally working for me this year.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I miss having more access to the building like last year...being able to stay late or come in on the weekends but at least this is allowing me to put some distance between me and my classroom. That is keeping me healthy and sane (well, at least somewhat)
