Today, as a teacher on Easter break, according to many I would have had a long lie in, went to do some shopping, had a long lunch with a friend and generally be all round lazy. As many people presume, teachers watch kids play, occasionally teach them how to read a word, watch them play outside, and then get lovely long holidays where we do nothing. Right? Wrong!!
Oh how I wish the above was true. It would be a lot less stressful if it were. I am sure the fellow teachers will agree that they now just smile and nod politely when they get... "But you get those long holidays!" Yes we do and for that I am extremely grateful and I do have days where I will do nothing but others are generally spent doing at least some work.
Today I went into school, yes...there were no kids but I was there (along with 6 others) working away. In some ways it may seem pretty sad but in fact, I managed to get quite a bit done. Being sports coordinator I have lots of responsibilities which kinda take a back seat at the end of term..not today!!! I had a display which was unfinished...not now! I had papers to be sorted and chucked out... done!! Marking to be done...err I wasn't THAT motivated.I will be back tomorrow morning (last time of the break I am sure) to finish that task!
I'm aiming to get a list of work sorted (and hopefully get ahead of myself for next term...keep your fingers crossed that my concentration lasts long enough) then I can have the fun which people assume us teachers have.
I hope you other teachers manage to get SOME kind of a break this Easter!Re-charge...it's the final stretch when we return!
I just wanted to share a couple of my pretty displays (With such small boards there is only so much I can do unfortunately...but they look nice anyway!)
