Christmas Time as a Teacher

Christmas is a great time to be a teacher! Not only do I have the next two weeks off, but I got all kinds of gifts!

I remember kids taking presents to my teachers in elementary school but I don't remember them getting as many presents as I did. Here is what I got:
  • TONS of Bath and Body Works stuff
  • a jewelry set
  • two bracelets
  • a notepad set
  • two candles
  • fuzzy socks
  • a $20 gift card
  • lots and lots of yummy treats
  • 3 ornaments
  • chocolate
  • a cool Clemson tile
And I only have 12 kids...


One thing I definitely learned this season-don't plan anything academic on the day before Christmas break. I had already planned for the afternoon to be a Christmas party but was going to do a couple of lessons that morning. That didn't happen. I quickly realized that anything I tried to teach my kids would go in one ear and out the other. Next year I will plan for a day long party!
