Winter break :)


For The Loving Of Teaching

Long hours,
Loud voices.
Sometimes I feel like I never left this classroom.
My students think I live at school.
Sometimes I think that too.
Is it summer yet?
When can I rest?
We all long for the summer…
Teachers, staff, students and their parents
We all need to rest!
Tests, exams, activities, field trips, plan, get ready…
Report cards, meetings, conferences.
Learn and forget.
Make plans again.
Some days are fun,
Some days are crazy.
Children running inside the school when they hear the bell…
Teachers walking fast to get to classrooms before the students.
Another day begins…
Students with their priorities, problems and issues,
Teachers with their priorities, problems and issues.
We need a class meeting, let’s talk about our problems.
Is that part of the curriculum?
Yes, indeed!
We feel relieved.
Back to our lesson plan.
Tests, exams, activities, field trips, plan, get ready…
Report cards, meetings, conferences.
Learn and forget.
Make plans again.
HOLIDAYS!
Then another year comes around and…
Long hours,
Loud voices…
