That Back-To-School Feeling

Hello friends,

I’ve been going back and forth on what to write about for this post. There’s so much going on in the world, in education, in life… I’m feeling a bit all over the place lately. I can’t seem to organize my thoughts as well as I like to think I usually do.

That being said, one thing that is clear is the excitement I feel during this last week of summer break. Each year, I’m sad summer is unofficially over (no more sleeping in!) but I’m also very much looking forward to meeting my new students and getting back into a routine. This year is no different.

As educators, how lucky are we that we get to start anew each school year? We can reflect on the previous year and make modifications as needed, forever reflecting, improving, failing, succeeding, and learning. Many professions don’t get such a clear period of reset, one between the old and the new. For that I am grateful.

Ahhh, that back-to-school feeling is special indeed. Don’t you agree?
