Happy Summer! Another school year is ending and a new summer is beginning! Here are a few resources and ideas to help you get the most out of your summer vacation!
Have you found some good
summer books
to read? I love the list that FAEA 2018 Conference keynote speaker, Cassie Stephens, has put together
here
. It includes a few of my favorites and some new ones for me to dive into this summer while hanging out in the backyard hammock.
Are you a
volunteer
? As an art educator, your skills can be incredibly useful for many organizations and cultural institutions seeking volunteers.
Get some
sleep
! Take the time this summer to create a routine that supports your well-being. Check out this
article
from Edutopia that has some great suggestions and facts.
Did you have a tough school year? Learn how to
let go
of the past in this
article
from Healthline.
On those really hot days here in Florida, try some indoor
AC activities
! Put a puzzle together, try a new recipe, language, or start a blog. Find a bunch of other great ideas in this
article
from We Are Teachers.
Learn about a new technique or medium by attending a convenient
ArtLab
hosted around the state by FAEA members. Check out the
registration page
with details about each of the one-day, hands-on workshops.
Most importantly, be sure to give back to yourself this summer. Take time to refresh, recharge, reconnect, and renew your energy. Carve out the time to fill your inspiration tank all the way up!

Many to Handle
"When I grow up, I hope to do so many things that it made me think of an octopus playing dressup. It makes me think of myself using eight arms to do many jobs! It is hard to do multiple jobs with only two arms." - Maya Wilson (Florida, 8-9 Grade Group)
