My First Teacher Spring Break!
I can't believe I am almost in the final stretch of my first year! One unit and a state test left of our school year! Last year as a Para, the space after spring break went extremely fast! I wonder how this year will shape up considering it is my first full year as a teacher! I can tell you though, that January to spring break was the longest time of my life. I love my kids, and I love my job, but WOW it is a lot!
I am thankful we get a whole week off with nothing to worry about. Since I don't have kids yet, outside of my job there isn't much I have a responsibility towards. I come home and take care of my animals and no worries! This week has already been so incredible for catching up on both housework and sleep. My 3-year anniversary is also during spring break! We plan to go to the movies and do our engagement pictures.
We did our engagement pictures the day after we had actually planned because of the weather. It was amazing! We got our sneak peek pictures a few hours after we left the photo shoot. I LOVE them! Brixiecreative does an incredible job doing pictures! I can not recommend her enough! I want to go get some of the pictures printed out already so that we can put them around the house!
Coming back to school was bittersweet. I love my job and my students but we were in agreeance that we missed sleeping in and our animals! I did love hearing all of the stories that my students were sharing about where they went and what they did over the break. Many stories were about going to visit family, going on adventures, and some (more like myself) about catching up on much-needed sleep.
Well, here's to the longest stretch of the year! I know there are already countdowns to summer happening in the classrooms (and possibly in the teacher's lounge)! It is really crazy to think that I am almost done with my first real year of teaching!
I have to throw in one of our pictures from the engagement shoot!
