But November is full of holidays, so I plan to try to recharge on those days.

I think it's especially hard these days.

I think the stress of first marking period grading/getting to know your kids/parents/etc. finally hits you and you just don't have a way to recover from it for another month. I know some teachers refuse to do it, but I always took a good mental health day up against a weekend to give myself three days to reboot...I think it made me a better, more pleasant teacher.Shannon @ River City Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024137897685829669noreply@blogger.com
