Have I written before about those halcyon days that come in the middle of each school year? If so, please indulge me.
There comes a time in every school year where the horizons become invisible. The beginning of the year was soooo long ago, and the end of the year is too far ahead to even imagine. That's when everyone in the class is working in the present, because there's nowhere else to be. The routine is familiar, the expectations are clear, and the level of trust is high-- everything works and anything is possible.
Teachers! Embrace these weeks! Though they are fleeting, their promise is true, and they are the gift of your commitment to the future.
