Rest and take a break from work, that what should be done by teachers. Recharge for the next year.

@PocketfulofPrimary 11 ай бұрын

Absolutely! But, some teachers ENJOY getting little things done over the summer to make their lives easier when they go back to school so these are simple ideas that can mostly be done from the couch for those that make that choice! 👍🏼

@MrsSweep 11 ай бұрын

I have taught for over 30+ years. In the past, I didn't do any school related things during the summer. But when school started, I always felt overwhelmed. For the last 5 years or so, I have prepped things during the summer. I don't feel as overwhelmed by all the things that need to be done. Do you! Relax or do some work. It's your choice!

@lakishastewart2433 11 ай бұрын

In a perfect world, that's what should be done. In actuality, we use that time to attend PDs/learning opportunities, organizing materials, decluttering, spending time with family and taking care of things around the house that went neglected through the school year, etc. Some are able to sleep in (but most can't bc we still wake up early), relax a little, etc. Thanks for the consideration, though.

@alejandrav5790 11 ай бұрын

I'm a teacher. I rest, recharge AND do small tasks that will help me during the school year. All 3 of these make me happy. Like everything else in life, it's not one size fits all. What teachers SHOULD do over the summer is whatever each individual teacher feels like doing.

I know some teachers need a complete break from school stuff during summer), but thinking ahead actually DEstresses me (so does sleeping in EVERY SINGLE DAY!).

Thanks for the helpful ideas, Michelle! I am balancing a blend of productivity and relaxation this summer. Between short trips to visit family members and completing house projects, I have been working on some state and county PD, reading teaching books, setting up my planbook and calendar for next year, and laminating Math toolkit sheets. I agree that every teacher has a different situation during the summer and should do as much or as little teaching work during the summer that is best for them. Whatever floats your boat, as they say! Have a great week and thanks for all you do! 💜

Michelle these are really great ideas. There are about five weeks until the beginning of the school year in our district and this is the perfect time to begin thinking about possible units for the first month or two as well as tips for differentiation which has always been a struggle for me. I like the idea of picking up a PD book and browsing for ideas. Usually I will wait until a couple of weeks before the beginning of the school year and then I feel overwhelmed. I think I will do it differently this year. Also thanks for the template for the back to school letter!

I just finished my second “first year” of teaching. I taught for 5 years and then took an 18 year “break” and was a children’s pastor and foster parent. This past year I taught grade 1 for almost the whole year. Because it was a temp contract, I had to move my entire classroom home. I inherited some things from another Grade 1 teacher so my plan for this summer is to go through all my teaching stuff and get it all organized for next year. I don’t have a contract right now but I’m hoping to teach Grade 1 again next year. So I’m going to plan as if I am. I love all of your ideas so I’m going to try to do some of those as well. I found you about 3 years ago from your “How to Create a Google Site” video and have watched every video and used your products since then!! All the teachers in my school were always so impressed that everything I used was so cohesive in the look! So I’d send them to your TPT store and videos!! LOL Thanks for everything that you do to support teachers!! It has made my life so much easier!!

One thing that helps me is creating your Google Classrooms. This only works if you know what you are teaching for sure. I add my welcome packet, Google Classroom information, create my main topics, and add the rubrics and reference sheets that I know we will be using. I have remote learning/blizzard bag expectations laid out. I also add the links to the websites we use and other helpful sites. It saves so much time. Plus, whenever you are explaining Google Classroom to your students and parents and you have things in there and loaded, it makes you look more professional.

@PocketfulofPrimary 11 ай бұрын

Yes, yes, yes! That's a fantastic tip for all the teachers using Google Classroom! If you make a copy of your previous class, it will already have all your assignments/materials saved as drafts which is a HUGE time saver! Obviously you can only do that if you're teaching the same class, as you mentioned, but it's definitely worth looking into if you can! Thanks for taking the time to share 🖤

Let me put it this way. Teachers should do in the summer similar to what I would tell a student and that is think of one of the things that would get you in trouble at school and use the summer to do it. When I was a school student on summer break back when there were good shows on television I would try to use that time to watch them when I had the space to do it. - Dwight

I literally hate those meet the teacher letters. I refuse to do them. I don't feel it is necessary for the parents or students to know everything or literally anything about me. When I was in school I didn't know my teachers outside of school and it didn't traumatize me. I think we share way too much with each other. When I did this years and years ago it made the students think we were friends and could ask me personal questions about myself and I thought it was disrespectful.. So I stopped doing it because I am their teacher not their friend. I give them my cell phone number and my planning time. That's all they need.
