Principal's Suggestion Box #12

These letters are absolutely fictional (to protect the innocent and not-so-innocent.) But, with the hint of truth, maybe we can make some adjustments. Principals have the best chance to do that.

Dear Principal, 

I just received our yearly letter from you with our assignments and news about school. Exactly what is 'The Annual Physical Fitness Test for All Teachers' ? Is this a joke? I realize that certain teachers had to go to the  occupational center prior to hiring to demonstrate they were fit enough for their jobs (like Special Education with lifting kids in wheelchairs and such), but outside of TB updates and declaring any accommodations  we need, I've never heard of a physical fitness test. Is that legal? Does the Union know? I recall you were concerned last year about absences due to flu and even whooping cough. Is this related?

What does this really mean? Running a mile? Push-ups, Marine style? Weight checks? I am very concerned. Do I need special clothing for this, like gym stuff? 

I will call your office and ask the staff for info.

Concerned,
Out of Shape Teacher

9 Bad Eating Habits and How to Break Them

Obesity and Sedentary Lifestyles

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3384027/ 

My suggestion: I know whereof I write. I confess, I used the excuse of commuting and work to just about ruin my health. So, I would say to you--don't let that happen. Don't wait until 'I have more time' (or retire) to exercise, eat better, slim down, get those boosters. You are important without all the value the school or family put on you. Pretend you are raising a baby--and the baby is YOU! How did baby sleep? Eat? Did the baby get exercise and go outside? Is the baby fussy? Why? Is the baby happy? Good. Is the baby regular, alert, actively learning? Apply all the analysis and affection of raising a baby to yourself. You will live longer and happier and be a better teacher for it.

But wouldn't that be something if there were an annual physical fitness test for teachers?

Was looking for a sassy picture to go along with this music, but Wolfie's actual portrait  was the best. BTW, you may want to watch or rewatch the film "Amadeus" sometimes. It's still awesome.

How Does Your Classroom Grow?

Eggshell Seed Starting Pots

http://www.pallensmith.com/index.php?id=1052 

Growing plants in your class brings health and learning benefits. Whether it is seedlings for a school garden or a ficus that will remain in you class for years like a friendly face, the daily involvment in tending, measuring, and appreciating the beauty of the process of growth for your students is greatly more than the slight cost of time and organization. Don't have a green thumb? I bet some of your students or parents do. You can involve STEM activities, art lessons, and even run a class science project to see if plants grow better with Mozart (they do. Kids do, too.) Maybe a teaching colleague would like to collaborate in a joint project for Earth Day.

Flowering Peach Tree, Van Gogh 1888

Almond tree, 1888

Peach tree, 1888

 When Van Gogh moved to Southern France, Arles, he was enthralled with the blossoming fruit trees. Blooming even in the snow, the artist was inspired by the new growth. My garden does the same for me. I've decided to plant similar fruit trees in my yard, looks like I need an almond and plum, already having an apple, peach, and pear.
