of the March Slice of Life Challenge on Two Writing Teachers! #sol25. I’m slicing every day in March. Thanks for stopping by!
Did I tell you about the other day? My student teacher planned to plan a little during lunch.
So with 10 minutes left before the kids came back, I asked him if he wanted to look at the lesson.
He said he would in just a bit. “Sometimes I need to prioritize my sanity,” he said. Which is I think is the new lingo for self care. And then he started to add something to his explanation that has now become my favorite quote of the year.
“Sometimes I need to prioritize my sanity, which is something I know you …” his voiced trailed off a bit, and I started laughing as he continued “is something I know you don’t always do…”
Point taken.
On a Thought 
This is too funny! I hope you are working to prioritize yourself. It’s hard when there is so much else in the way.
The student becomes the teacher. 🙂 I am not very good at that either. I hope you incorporate it into your selfcare plan.
What a precious small moment of humor, relationship, and maybe some truth, too 🙂
I think *everyone* in education right now is feeling the need to figure out “Am I planning during lunch or tending to my sanity?” It’s getting harder & harder to do it all. But I hope you two will figure it out, together!
HAHAHAHA – best. quote. ever. Amazing.
Your response closing out this post gave me a laugh. Seems like a good quote to post on a sticky note in a frequently viewable area.
he is learning a lot in many ways! Stay sane in the final stretch!
