Teacher self-care has quickly become something I am so passionate about! I have noticed that many of my co-workers, myself included, have a difficult time implementing self-care routines. Even if you aren't ready for a full routine, you can always do little things to improve your self-care! Summer is such a great time for teachers to kick back, relax and learn to take care of themselves! I know that I have a lot more time to focus on me during the summer so I have put together a bucket list of self-care ideas for teachers that is sure to help you rejuvenate throughout your summer vacation.
