I'm worried. I've been going thru the motions this summer. Kinda on autopilot. Summer school is by nature different. Few, if any, discipline problems. A time to plan actually. I try to not email my staff. Everyone needs time to get their head together. And that's the problem.
My head isn't into it. I can't say it any straighter than that. Usually, at this time of year, after 18 years, I begin to get charged up. I miss the kids. The internal clock starts sending messages. I start to rev a bit. I have a mental checklist. 6th gr. orientation. staff orientation. handbook. Frankly, I start missing it. Missing the new year. The new group of kids. Missing how we can do this work better. Setting standards for what I expect of myself. Knowing the vision. And knowing that action follows it.
And I am feeling some of those things. But the primordial, this is mine, I have to build it....hasn't hit yet. And without it, I wonder how I can do the work I know I need too.
