This stretch of the year is so notoriously tough that teacher Kelly Treleaven gave it a name. It’s “that time after the shiny newness of the first few weeks has worn off, when fatigue sets in, boundaries get tested, trillions of various forms are due, and there’s no significant break in sight.”

If you’re feeling it, you’re in good company. Even veteran teachers get caught in the vortex. Teacher Christina Torres Cawdery, @biblio-phile.bsky.social, has been there, and she’s sharing some things that help her get through it. 🧡
