Feeling Extra Tired During this Holiday Season?
As the holidays approach, teachers are often left feeling exhausted and drained. The end of the semester can be a stressful time with grading, final exams, and end-of-year activities. However, it’s important to take care of yourself and recharge during this time off. Here are some tips on how to beat teacher tiredness during the holidays:
- Take time for yourself: It’s important to take a break from work and do something you enjoy. Whether it’s a hobby, exercise, or spending time with loved ones, make sure to prioritize your own needs.
- Get enough sleep: During the holidays, it’s easy to fall out of your normal routine. However, it’s important to continue to get enough sleep to ensure you are well-rested and ready to tackle the next semester.
- Try something new: Use this time off to try something new that you’ve been wanting to do. Whether it’s a new recipe, a new workout, or a new hobby, trying something new can help you feel rejuvenated and energized. I’ve been listening to new podcasts and making myself sit down and read.
- Practice self-care: Make sure to take care of yourself both physically and mentally. This can include taking a relaxing bath, meditating, or practicing yoga. Of course I find myself resorting to watching Hallmark Christmas movies.🤣
By taking care of yourself during the holidays, you can beat teacher tiredness and return to the classroom feeling refreshed and ready for the new year. Remember to prioritize yourself and your needs to ensure a successful and fulfilling year ahead.
Happy holidays!

Analogies are Awesome!
Analogies are awesome! As we all know, an analogy is a comparison between two different objects, people, or ideas that share some common characteristics. Why teach them? Analogies are important because they help us make sense of the world around us. For example, if we wanted to explain how a car works, we could use an analogy of a bicycle. We could explain that the car has an engine like a bicycle has a pedal, and the car has a steering wheel like a bicycle has handlebars.
Analogies are also useful for making complex topics easier to understand. For example, if you were trying to explain the structure of the internet, you could use an analogy of a highway system. You could explain that the internet is made up of highways and side roads, and that data travels along these pathways like cars travel along a highway.
Analogies can also be used to create vivid images in our minds, which can help us remember information more easily. For example, if you wanted to remember the order of the planets in the solar system, you could create an analogy of a string of beads. You could imagine that each bead represents a planet, and the order of the beads is the order of the planets.
Overall, analogies are an important tool that can be used to explain complex topics, create vivid images, and help us remember information. They can be a great way to make learning fun and engaging, and can help us understand the world around us in a more meaningful way.
My students always love analogies and seeing the connection and relationship between various objects, people, and more. If needing an analogy resource for your classroom, I’ve got your covered:
