Mondays and Wednesdays are my lighter days of the week. After my hour long commute from Queens through Manhattan into the Bronx (that’s a total of 3 boroughs a day!) I arrive at my school to be greeted by my (mostly) wonderful students. And, instead of teaching, for the first 97 minute period of the day I have prep.
Prep in the morning is a blessing. It allows me to get in my groove for the day. Since I usually hide out in the 12th grade team office, I use my prep time to grade, plan, and relax to my Lauryn Hill Pandora station.
I’ve done what I feel like doing for today’s prep period, I’ve got a cool activity planned for class (which starts in 10 minutes), and thanks to Yom Kippur I don’t have school tomorrow. Today will be a good day
