I once heard that it takes 90 days to break a bad habit or to get a new behavior engrained into your being. So I've created a blog to track my daily progress in starting some new habits (or tackling those bad ones if I feel brave enough). Every 90 days I'll choose a new habit to start or break

5am Meditation Day 44- Meditation in Schools
Perfect timing. We just had a professional day at my school on stress and relaxation techniques earlier this week, and today I cam across an Edutopia article on Meditation in Schools.
Wow, what a novel idea, providing teachers with a day dedicated to promoting stress and relaxation techniques. May I please come work for your school. We had a Teacher Workday on President's Day. A day usually devoted to catching up on grades, organizing, and gathering one's thoughts and preparations for the coming month. However, instead of a mildly relaxing day to get back on track in my classroom, I got scheduled for task analyzing all the new Essential Standards for biology. Not necessarily a soothing or meditative experience. Though, I was a little vegetative by the end of the day : )
