By Dana Bockman, Facilitator of Instruction and Assessment One more day, but who’s counting? Well, let’s be honest, probably all of us. Not because we don’t like what we do. Not because we couldn’t use the next two weeks to complete classroom projects, fit in an assessment, finish up a unit, or just keep rolling with a curriculum we are already behind in. We are counting down because we need to relax. We need to refresh. We need to recharge. We need a break…some downtime. We need to push pause so we can come back in January with our batteries full, minds clear, stress low, and ready to tackle the rest of the year. The majority of this break keep your laptop closed. Leave things in your school bag. Don’t read emails. Take a break and enjoy the time! You deserve it!
How will you relax, refresh, and recharge this winter break?

Great list and a good reminder that we need to relax. We need to refresh. We need to recharge. We need a break… with some downtime. I know this isn't how we pictured our spring of 2020 but I am glad we have some direction to catch up with our teams and collaborate but, we also have an opportunity to feel a little more caught up with our family time.

Absolutely! Just because we sometimes count down the days, it isn't because we dislike our job, but more that we need a break. I feel like we are always going 100 miles a minute so it is a nice reminder that it's ok to slow down and take a break.
