THE TEACHER BRAIN
I know I have it, because I can't sleep.
It never lets me sleep.
I lay in bed at night, wide awake, thinking of things for my class.
Thinking of new ideas for art projects, phonics games, math...
I know that it is a blessing and a curse.
But I need my sleep!
I am so tired.
Does it ever go away?
The Teacher Brain.
I have tried melatonin.
I have tried counting sheep.
But, I still lie in bed wide awake.
WIDE AWAKE.
Everything leads me back to my first graders.
If only they knew how much I thought about them.
How much I care about them.
How invested I am in their education.
Maybe they would listen better in class?
Maybe they would try harder on their assignments?

The Teacher Brain is now a part of who I am.

The Teacher Brain is now a part of who I am.
Now I know why teachers are "underpaid"!
