1. Sleep in
You know, they don't drag themselves about of bed before the sun rises in summer time. No! The sleep in until the late morning hours, like until 7:30! Can you imagine?!
2. They get to be lazy
No more teaching lessons, no sir, not for us! Instead we sit on the couch with laptops or iPads in hand... And search Pinterest for lesson plans, classroom decorating ideas, and classroom management strategies! Don't forget about signing up for all those super fun professional development courses - of course you won't have anything scheduled until after you go back to school, right? I mean, really.... Who actually works in the summer?
3. Spend time with friends and family
Wait... Teachers have a life outside of school?!? Ludicrous!
4. Do things at a leisurely pace
Take 30 minutes to eat breakfast? Sure! Slowly chew your food at lunch with no pressing time constraint? Yes please! Head to the restroom at the first hint of needing to go? What, you can do that?!
5. Continually think about next school year
Yup, as much as we count down to summer we still can't stop thinking about next school year! We are teachers, after all, and our students and our classrooms are important to us. I've thought at least 15 times about different ways I will try to set up my room when I come back, how about you?
