It is so important that we teachers UNPLUG this summer and spend some time participating in activities just for us!  This spring has brought with it unimaginable changes to the way we deliver education.  Our lives both at school and at home were turned upside down, BUT, we have finally made it to summer vacation!  This year more than ever, we need to take care of ourselves, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

We asked our colleagues how they are going to spend the summer and received a variety of great responses.  Check out our list of 19 Ways Teachers (and Parents) can UNPLUG this summer!!!

#1 ~ Unplug and Throw Out Your Computer

 

#2 ~ Cozy up with a Good Book

 

#3 ~ Take a LONG Drive with the Radio Blaring

 

#4 ~ Enjoy the Summer Weather on the Porch with a Cup of Coffee or Tea

 

#5 ~ Get Some Gardening Done

 

#6 ~ Do Some Arts and Crafts

 

#7 ~ Have a Glass of Wine (or Beer)

We hope that whatever way you choose to UNPLUG this summer, remember to spend some time doing something that you enjoy.  This year more than ever, we need it.  Whatever comes this next school year, we will be ready for it, so take the time you need to recharge!
