Our February break is approaching its end and I am dreading no days off March! How do you get through these next few weeks where everything feels like it's speeding up and the pressure is extra on?

The “Death March” as we refer to it at my school requires a few things.

1) A personal day or two
2) Find a PD conference to attend (even if virtually) they are plentiful this time of year, and you have plenty of time to implement what you learn before the end of the year
3) Independent research project for students that allows the to access areas that they are interested in, and takes a lot of the planning off your plate.
4) Remember that the students are going through the same schedule.

It’s 7 weeks to April Break, then 8 weeks till summer . Closer than we think

We have a fantastic program in March where we get to take the students out to do Winter Sports for a half a day on Wednesdays. We can go skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, sledding and some other cool activities. It gives us all a wonderful break -- each Wednesday!

Automate as much as you can. I like giving Edpuzzles and use other assessment tools like SmartMusic to fill in the gaps between major projects.
