Okay, so you know how I was loving my job last weekend?
Today, I’m exhausted. I feel like this week aged me an extra five years. The kids are antsy. Some are downright angry. A few have been rolling on the floor. STAR testing is next week. The hype is too much. Monday I am planning a day of relaxation. No test prep, just normal review/lessons with some mindfulness exercises thrown into the mix. I think if we play jeopardy or math baseball one more time they might revolt. Today they nearly did.
We performed a teacher cheer at our pep rally set to “Scream & Shout” this afternoon. Don’t worry, we took the profanity out and added in fun stuff about college. However, the real chorus will be stuck in my head all weekend.
I want to scream and shout and let it all out…
Fitting, really. I’m going to take some deep breaths and relax now. TGIF.

There is certainly value in the occasional scream.
Very much agreed.
I agree, too. A good scream and a good cry can be the best stress relievers.
