Tea Time

Although I'm a die-hard caffeine addict in the mornings, I've recently discovered the loveliness of tea time. My teaching neighbor and I both have 8th period off (2:45-3:30) and commented how we'd like something warm to sip as we reflect on our day. As a result, we have begun having tea as often as we can, as a way to decompress after our day and take a little break before beginning correcting papers, planning lessons, collaborating and all the other things we teachers do. Today's tea time had us drinking some apple cider tea, munching on caramel apple biscotti and listening to classical music-even one of the counselors and our principal joined us. Tea time, as Martha would say, is a good thing!
