Every morning when I entered my classroom, I opened the shades to our large windows. I don't know why that's the first thing I did, but it became a habit I enjoyed. Few people were at the school when I arrived, so opening the window shades became a personal, quiet ritual.

I've been a teacher for almost a decade now. I taught kindergarten and first-grade for the past seven years. This past year, I experienced burnout, so I decided to take time away from being a classroom teacher.
My burnout was due to many reasons. These include changes in policies at my school, increased student social-emotional challenges, lack of opportunities to advance and grow, and more. |
