Planning for maternity leave in the classroom can feel like a daunting task when we already have so much on our plate as teachers! I had a hard time wrapping my head around planning 2 weeks worth of lesson plans when I was already struggling to keep up daily myself.

​Pregnancy made me SUPER tired and many times I found myself passed out on the couch before dinner. Not to mention all I had on my brain was BABY! I was reading baby books, decorating the nursery, trying to plan healthy meals, and researching everything. The last thing I wanted to do or think about was maternity plans! 

So today, I'm mapping out the process I went through to plan my maternity leave in hopes that it saves some future teacher mommas the stress and worry of planning out ALL THE THINGS. 

"You might have noticed that everyone loves kittens... and puppies... and bunnies. You know, cute fluffy things. But nobody loves a slightly hairy, I suppose a bit googly eyed monster." - Love Monster by Rachel Bright

This endearing story is about a "funny looking" monster who lives in Cutesville. Although his search for love comes up short, when he least expects it, love finds him. If you're planning to celebrate Valentine's Day in your classroom this year, I propose a day of MONSTROUS Fun!
