Quality is more important then quantity.<br /><br />I also think it is very important to get enough rest! Being well rested is so important to many things in the classroom.Mrs. Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322392613057574842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559663.post-32368593431999866172010-08-15T15:34:53.969-04:002010-08-15T15:34:53.969-04:00We've just had some new building done at schoo...We've just had some new building done at school and one of the things our principal did was ban school work from the staffroom - it's a place where we can sit (in comfort and in the sun on winter days) and chat or read a magazine or doze even. It's so much more inviting than our last staffroom was.Jo Fothergillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15159158355648965182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559663.post-73665445843198456772010-08-10T21:31:53.428-04:002010-08-10T21:31:53.428-04:00Excellent post!

Although all or your...Thanks for sharing this, Lee. Although all or your "2 cents" are excellent, I particularly like the one about not eating alone in your room. I used to work through lunch at my computer. A friend invited me to the faculty lounge for lunch one day.<br /><br />What I found was remarkable. there were six teachers escaping the classroom, talking about life and laughing. The laughter is a wonderful and necessary elixir to anything that may be troubling you on a given day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206735172077499589noreply@blogger.com
