Is Your School On Spring Break? 5 Things Not To Do: Educator Edition
There may be a lot on your to-do this Spring break. Maybe none at all! Either way, do not have these on your calendar during your time off. Rest and recharge the energy from the end-of-the-year celebrations that will be there before you know it! Thank you for everything you do for your students.
School work day in and day out.
You are on break! You deserve your rest. Strive to open your school laptop only for a digital clean-up. It is a shorter time, so reclaim your break time for yourself and your family.
2. Assign work before the break.
You do not want to be doing schoolwork during spring break, nor should your students! Take time off as a gift for both you and your students. Yes, there are pacing guides, but telling the students that there are no assignments during the break relieves them. Tell them to be ready to learn when they return.
3. Stay indoors
Get outside. Stretch your legs, go to a local spot for outdoor dining, or go to the park. Depending on where you live, you may have to grab a jacket on your way out.
4. Planning for only this school year
After spring break, it seems the end-of-year activities come up quickly. Do not forget to book that well-deserved vacation in the summer or a professional development opportunity if you so choose. Ones I attended that I enjoyed usually had an enrollment due date between April and May.
5. Staying on your computer and phone
Grab a good book or cook something new. Stay in touch with Stunning Jade, then put your phone down and enjoy your break!
