When a teacher can relax, really relax, it will be epic after the way the 2020 school year ended.

Maybe it is going to take more than one good book in a hammock this summer to unwind from the stressful spring teachers just taught their way through. Even if traditional plans are complicated by the lingering COVID-19 virus, we can still share our intentional strategies and consider the intensity and duration proportional to the way this school year ended.

Share the idea of blogging with your colleagues as a way to process the end of the year that wasn’t. Take the ideas of the friends in this challenge and hopefully build a year prepared for multiple formats!

The Prompt:

How are you recharging this summer?

The Rules:

Have a Blog: You may blog on a traditional blog, podcast, or use Facebook; any platform with an independent URL for each post.

Write & Include: (1) This at the start of your post: “This post is week 2 of 8 in the #8WeeksofSummer Blog Challenge for educators.” and kindly link that sentence to https://wp.me/p4cW8a-30j.
And (2) please use the hashtag #8weeksofsummer in social media shares of the post.

Comment on my Prompt: Post a link to your blog in the comments of each of the 8 blog prompts in a timely fashion (We are on vacation, and you may not even know which day it is, so let’s say within 3 weeks of posts 1-7).

This 2020 #8weeksofsummer blog challenge runs June 12 – July 31, 2020, and is for any educator. The challenge prompts educators with the opportunity of reflection. Each prompt asks them to blog about their reaction, thoughts, experiences with some facet of their professional practice.

Check HotLunchTray.com June 12th and every Friday until July 31st for prompts.

Successful completion of all 8 weeks commenting/linking back/sharing via social media will result in one entry into the drawing for $100 USD Amazon Gift card one week after July 31st – when teachers need it most!
