Last week when I had an "ask me anything" session in my stories, there were a few questions about being deskless, and that led to lots MORE questions in my DM's... Rather than continue to answer so many GREAT questions individually, I thought I would write a blog for you on my experience in desk-less classrooms! Monday I spent the entire day vomiting and feeling overcome with anxiety, stress, and overwhelm at the thought of returning to school on Tuesday. Six weeks of summer break flew by much faster than I could've ever imagined. It was NOT NEARLY enough time to process, decompress, and recover from the traumas of teaching through last year. Whether you return next week, next month, or in September (you lucky teacher you!!!) it will still NOT be enough time.... This was my “first day of school for teachers photo” … honestly, if I had taken one on Tuesday morning I would’ve had swollen eyes from crying… This is, without a doubt, the most frequently asked question I get at workshops, presentations, and in my DM's. How frequently are you doing Brain Breaks? How many times should I do them in a class? My answer is not as simple as you're hoping... Am I right or am I right?!? Super grateful to @sra.heaton for capturing this moment early this morning!
