I'm starting to realize how close it is to the end of the break! EEK!! I'm staring at my curriculum books and kicking myself for forgetting my lesson plan book at school. I was going to go pick it up from school, but then I got an email saying they changed the locks and we get new keys Monday morning. Which throws off my backup plan... I was going to get there super early to make sure everything is set to go, but now I may need to wait for the person with the new keys.
Looks like I'll cross my fingers that I put enough stuff together with copies made. I'm fairly certain I got enough things ready for at least the first couple days, but there is always this worry I won't be ready. And the fact that I was dreadfully sick and went to work anyway that last day before break, does not ease my concerns. I tend to be a little discombobulated when I don't feel well.
Do any of the rest of you stress about not being ready after a break? I could have every single thing set out the Friday before break, and I'll still stress that I forgot something on the first day back. To be perfectly honest the kids will probably be either super sleepy and slow, or so excited to talk about their Christmas presents that I really don't even need to worry about the first hour of class, but still...
I'm off to rest. I'm on round 2 of antibiotics for what has now turned into bronchitis. The new meds seem to be working, and this full month of sickness may really be coming to an end just in time to go back to work.
Good luck! I hope you start feeling better soon. I'm starting to get nervous about the first day, but I've been working on my plans this week so that should ease my mind. It's hard to think about school when your not feeling well.
