Occasionally the year feels like it is being moved along by elderly turtles. On Mondays that are especially tough (like the week of standardized testing), I like to send out Monday Encouragement emails to the teachers at my three schools. This is the one from this week.
Let It Go: Teacher Style
(to the tune of “Let it Go” from Frozen)
The sun glows bright out the windows today
not a rainstorm to be seen.
My students are barely quiet,
They’ve forgotten I’m the queen.
Energy is raging like a swirling storm inside,
they can’t keep it in, heaven knows I’ve tried.
“Don’t touch that thing!” -- “Just let it be!”
“Be the good girls and boys I know you used to be!”
Conceal, don’t scream, don’t let them know….
Well, now they know…
Six more weeks, six more weeks --
Until the school year is no more.
Six more weeks, six more weeks --
Turn away and drink some more Coke.
I don’t care what they’re going to say
Let the students rage on…
Their energy never bothered me anyway
