END OF VACATION: A NEW BEGINNING

End of vacation: a new beginning
Six weeks summer holiday .... What does that sound like? It seems so endless. Also for my own children (10,12 and 14). And I thought I had no work after the holidays. End of vacation: for me a new beginning

Six weeks summer holiday

After the first week of vacation, the remark comes: "Ah, good mom, another 5 weeks holiday, that's long!"

No work

For the holidays, I was not sure if I would work and then I thought, "poeh, six weeks of vacation and maybe even longer if I'm Toos again." 
But that went differently🙂
I have work ... I have a year contract to fall into 2 schools. 
For the holidays I have already come to know and this week I will discuss with both teams and arrange my class with my immediate colleagues.

Back to school

At one school, my duo had all that together so that she could have a rest on holiday and so little more needed. At the other school I was there Monday and there I get group 4, get used to it. After so long only toddlers. But quite nice!

But is it a holiday?

Still, my children find it strange .... 
"We still have a week of vacation ?! 
How are you doing this week 3x !!!! to school??? 
What are you going to do then, how long are you gone and why? "
Even though they are already 10+, they find that strange. 
Mama is a teacher, it's summer vacation, they have summer holidays, so why go to school now?
There have already been enough blogs of teachers written about the work of teachers in vacations, so I'm not going through that.
I explained it to my children (and partners). 
Every year again. They continue to find it special ...

End of vacation

The days of the last holiday week fly to my feelings suddenly. 
Monday and Tuesday it seemed so endless. 
Today is wednesday and is my last real free day. Thursday meet and lunch at one school, meet Friday and have lunch at the other school.

Exciting!

The tension in my body is beginning to increase again. 
Healthy tension and some nerves: 2 new schools (and 1x in 14 days to attend schools where necessary). 
That evidence is all right. 
That feeling…. That's strange and I'm not that nice either. Not even now for almost 20 years.

Also private

On the other hand, there are also new tensions. 
My son goes to the 3rd of the middle class. My daughter goes to the bridge class.
For my son, is it a "little egg" nothing special, books do? It'll come. 
"Mom, I've got stretchy cases, and not so many books, I'll be fine." 
My daughter showed me yesterday how books are going again, she started working on it. 
The letter about the two kennismaking days just arrived by mail and her face began to shine.
My youngest goes to group 7. She does not mind now, would like to see her friends again, but everything is different for her. 
Previously, was she with her brother and sister to go to school last year for the first time alone with her sister ... and now? Only and only home again.
Let go, small children grow up. 
Anyway, this teacher has no more children at elementary school.
A lot of changes this school year. 
Exciting, unknown, nice. 
Lots of feed for new blogs ... I hope.

First orchard of Haba: tested!

I'm from a family of real gaming fans.  And then I do not mean 'games', but the  old school  companions  games  .  Cozy but fanatic with all around the board.  And now that I am a mother of a toddler and a toddler, I have discovered that there are also a lot of fun games for that age.  For example, we learned a little while ago about Haba's First Orchard.  A game by which my boys are now also infected with the game virus. Win together or lose together Eerste Boomgaard is the perfect game to announce your children with games.  The rules of the game are easy to understand and for a two-year-old child.  What I like so much is that you do not play against each other but with all of them.  There are four stuffed fruit trees to be picked empty before the raven reaches the orchard.  The fruit can be picked by throwing a dice.  Throw green, then you put an apple into the basket, with blue a plum and so on.  But if y...

Let's Play Out!

It has been a trend for some years, but children are less likely to play outside.  That's not a good news because playing outside is not only healthy and educational but also fun.  Let's all play together together! How often do children play outside?  And how does that happen? If we can believe British research (read well: British, which does not apply to Flanders and the Netherlands)  , children are on average less than prisoners.  For example, 26% of children in question would play out for less than half an hour a week.  That's really little.  This trend would be explained by various causes.  On the one hand, it appears that parents are more cautious and see more dangers in outdoor games, on the other hand, electronic toys such as tablets are an attractive alternative for children to simply stay in.  Some researchers also say that more school work leads to less outdoor games.  A lack of safe playgrounds or a quiet street does not ...
