Rules for Summer Vacation
Yes, there are “rules” you need to follow
for your first summer vacation as a teacher. But don’t worry
if you don’t follow all of them—there are no vacation
police or mentors checking your progress.
- Take care of yourself. Do as your mother advised—get plenty of rest,
eat right and exercise!
- Begin your work on an advanced degree. It’s easier to get the required
reading done and papers written when you don’t have the added responsibility
of your own students.
- Attend the workshops, conventions and conferences you weren’t able
to attend during the school year.
- Look for a summer job that is totally out of your field. Some of those jobs
may make you really glad that you have a teaching job in the fall.
- Consider constructing your bulletin boards. Have everything drawn, colored
and cut out and ready to go.
- Do something creative that you’ve never done before. Take piano lessons,
refinish furniture or learn to sail.
- If you like—do nothing. Read, watch the soaps, sleep late, get a tan
or play. You deserve it!
