Pushing Through

So the fifth week of school has done me in. I feel flat. I feel like every day should definitely be Friday. My body is saying, "This is for real? Summer is done??"

I can only imagine how my students are feeling if I feel this way about a job I love. Note to self:

• Be gentle with them. Maybe even be gentle with yourself.
  
• Do what you can to make class interactive to wake us all back up.
  
• Remember this too shall pass.

Anyone else feeling it? Anyone have wisdom to share?
