Self Care:
3rd Quarter
As we prepare to enter 3rd Quarter I want to give folks some reminders. In many ways 3rd term is the hardest quarter of the year. We will go from here until Spring Break with no scheduled days off until a teacher work day on 5 March. This means that 3rd term's 9 weeks really are 9 full weeks with almost no break assuming we've had all the snow we're going to get this year. Invariably, 3rd Quarter is the one where grades are most likely to dip. Nine weeks doesn't seem like a long time, but it is, and this quarter also coincides with cold weather, darkness, sickness, and being stuck indoors. The lack of a substantial break, the time of the year, and the weather can combine to make this a pretty stressful quarter. So what to do?
