We work hard in my room each and every day. The students know that to be in a limited homework classroom, they are on the minute they get to school until they leave. The pressure is on to stay on top of the learning, to be involved, and to grow, grow, grow. So this week as we finished our dream project, as we inch closer to break, we breathe. We release, we relax, and we rejuvenate.
As an educator I push my students, I make them reach for the things they are not sure they can touch, that is after all why I am there. And yet you cannot continue to push kids to their utmost, day in, day out. And so we breathe, we release, relax, refocus.
Academic rigor still stands, standards must be met, projects must be completed. Yet our brains slow down, attempt to reconfigure all of this information. We rewire our thoughts, we charge our spirits and we breathe.
