School Holiday Week Blog
This week was the school holiday, which meant no classes, no lesson plans, and no rushing to get to school, just a full week of rest and recovery. After a few busy weeks filled with teaching, lesson observations, and school events, the break came at the perfect time. It allowed me to pause, recharge, and reflect on my journey as a trainee teacher so far.
The first few days of the holiday were all about rest. I spent most of my time catching up on sleep, spending time with family, and simply enjoying slow mornings without alarms. Even though I wasn’t in school, I found myself thinking about my students and the lessons I had conducted. I realized how much I’ve learned from improving classroom management to finding creative ways to engage students.
Midweek, I started to feel more productive again. I looked through my past lesson plans and mentor feedback, taking note of areas I could improve. I also browsed through online resources and teaching videos for new activity ideas. Some of the games and group tasks I found looked fun and interactive. I can’t wait to try them with my students once school reopens.
Besides that, I took some time to tidy up my study area and organize my teaching materials. It felt refreshing to clear my workspace and prepare everything for the upcoming school week. I also reflected on how far I’ve come since the start of this practicum, how I’ve grown not just as a teacher, but also as a person. The break gave me a sense of gratitude for the journey, the challenges, and the small victories along the way.
Overall, the school holiday was calm, restful, and meaningful. Even though I didn’t go to school, I still learned something valuable that rest is also part of being a good teacher. It helps renew energy, restore focus, and remind us why we started this path in the first place. I’m thankful for the time to breathe and reflect, and I feel ready to return to school with a refreshed mind, stronger motivation, and new ideas to bring into the classroom. 🌸✨
