Week of Giving THANKS - T is for Total Peace & Quiet

Ahoy there, bloggy friends! I am SO excited to have an entire week off for Thanksgiving break. It gives me some much well deserved rest and recharge time. I am linking up this entire week with Blog Hoppin' for this super fun linky! Look how cute the graphics are for this:

Since today is all about T . . .

As much as I love to teach . . . I can't stress how much I have come to appreciate some total peace and quiet time. I feel like I am surrounded by so much noise (good noise that is, you know . . . of students having meaningful academic conversations amongst each other, chatting and collaborating with my team, etc . . .) and need time where I can just turn my brain off and R-E-L-A-X! Having a week off allows me to rejuvenate and recharge my batteries! So YAY and HOORAY to being able to do that!
