I'm feeling burnt out. And it's only October. Ah! My class of 28 has been reduced to 23 and it has made a world of difference. I'm making progress with my kids & I enjoy spending the day with them. But...I feel so strapped for time. Constantly. I try to get to school early to prep things and I also end up staying late until 5:30 or so and I'm still feeling behind. I need a full day to organize/plan/prep to get me back on my feet. Our school day is so long- 8 hours with kids and it's making me crazy!
Having homework when I get home does not help! Our poor house is so neglected because when I do have a down moment, I do not feel like cleaning! I can't wait until May when I'll be done with my Masters!
Any words of encouragement would be appreciated!!
Hang in there! I know sub plans are more of a pain than anything but take a day off :) Every great teacher needs one or two of those days every now and then . . . and book a pedicure or something special - NO school work or homework. I promise you'll be grateful!!!!
