We made it. Today is the last day before spring break. A student came up to me a couple days ago and asked how long spring break was. I told him a week. He made a face and said, “A week? All this hype for just a week off?” Oh, child.
That week will bring us time with our friends and families, without the stress of deadlines and work. It will bring us books and peace on the beach under the sunshine. It will bring sleeping in and eating breakfast at 11am. 9 days of no school work or meetings or the frustration of not being able to do enough or have enough time. It will bring relaxed laughs and dinners out, pajamas all day, and later bedtimes.
Spring break is so much more than a week. It’s the unplugging yet recharging in order to be the best we can be for the last 2 months of school. So, child, cherish these next 9 days. Find the good and enjoy the freedom.
See you on the other side…………
Love this! You hit the nail on the head. Sometimes we focus too much on the negative of something instead of enjoying the positive benefits! Enjoy your break!
