Summer is time to recharge and reflect

Looking back on your school year to recharge and reset before the year ahead

After pouring so much of ourselves into our classroom and students over the last 180 days, it is SO important that we make the most of our breaks. Using summer to purposefully recharge can help prevent teacher burnout and leave you feeling ready and excited for the year ahead.

While it's tempting to waste the days away with the latest Netflix binge in my jammies, I know I feel much more relaxed when I can get all the clutter out of my head and really make sure I'm prioritizing the things I don't always have (or make!) time for during the school year.





My brain is constantly swirling with activities I want to do over the summer, filling with ideas I have for next year, ruminating on things I goofed on this past school year, or just trying to make a mental list of all the appointments I need to schedule and get to while I actually have some free time! I can't be the only one swamped with a muddled to-do list flashing through my mind, so I thought I'd share these reflection sheets I created.




I'm hoping that if I get the main things out on paper, there will be less swirling around my brain which will allow me to fully relax and enjoy the free time I do have this summer. It will also help me prioritize the ideas I want to prepare for next year, so I go back feeling rested and ready in the fall.
